Does playing the first fret on the A and E strings, like when playing something in B flat, always require extra pressure, or is the noticeable force required when I do on mine something that could be ameliorated by improving something about the setup? My nut height is good, and action is okay otherwise. I’m learning President Garfield’s Hornpipe in B flat, and trying to keep the first fret fingered to get a clean tone seems to be a little on the tough side.
