💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
If you've seen any of my lesson videos, you might have noticed a guitar scrunchie thing covering the strings above the nut.
I'm constantly getting asked about it in the comments on YouTube.
So in this video I provide a thorough answer: 
     • I play examples of what the guitar scrunchie does for the sound of the guitar
     • I talk about sympathetic vibration and guitar overtones
     • And I even demonstrate a little guitar tapping technique at the end :)
