i've noticed my 'annotations' are out of tune, when i pluck an open string its pefectly tuned but when i press the 12th fret its not in tune but it should be
its called a harmonic or something?
how do i fix this myself without paying a guitar dealer to fix it?

 

[eternal alchemist]

My guitar teacher does that for free You should search truss rod or something. Yes, google truss rod and I found this site: http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2001-05-01_geneimbody1.php

[eternal alchemist]

[Korruptive]

last point "intonating your instrument"

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Yeah it's intonation not annotation

You just need to move the saddles of the trem back and fourth to find the right spots for each string, they should look like 2 sets of stairs in the end like this...

oh those things holding the strings that slide up and down when you loosen them?
thats all?

 

[Korruptive]

and my friend said its annotation -.-
oh well gotta learn somehow

What do you mean slide up and down, they should be firmly in place.
Your friend is retarded it's intonation.

Yeah, you just have to adjust the saddles accordingly. I usually get my tech to do that for me.
