    :grin: Now that was great! Little Ricky :cool: kept 'em in familiar territory, holding them to the basic structure of the song. Can't say as I'm big on drum solos, but even that stayed to the beat....

    Re: If 1 nut slot is too low (cut to deep)

    Wait a minute before filing, especially if this is a new problem. Is your neck straight? On some instruments necks can move with a change in the weather. Does it need a little bit of adjustment. ...
