What do you guys mean by "high action", exactly?

[/ QUOTE ]

The action on a guitar is the height of the strings above the fretboard.

High action = you have to push strings harder to create notes = harder to play.

Cool... and the bridge is that thing that elevates them above the fretboard, I take it?

Thanks.

(btw now I know what a fretboard is).

Now, is there a different term for the note that you would play on the 3rd fret of the first string, and the piece of metal between the frets?

Edit: And yeah, my guitar is a real friggin pain to play. I can't really play, as I've never had lessons, and I just picked it up in the past few weeks after a while of playing dust, but I'm having fun screwwing around with it between p-ker sessions. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
