I found some great info on setting up your guitar intonation, pickups, truss rod and more 

Finger Position on the Uke

Contrary to what you might think by looking at a chord diagram, the best spot to place a left-hand finger on fretboard is NOT in the middle of the frets, but rather immediately beside a fret (i.e. just to the left of it). The reason for this is that it requires for less pressure to properly hold the string down in that location than exactly between two frets, or anywhere to the left of that. If you press down on a string without adequate pressure, the result is often a very annoying buzzing sound!

 There are fine (and poor) examples of both steel and nylon stringed instruments. 

Now that you have purchased your first guitar, the first step is learning how to tune it!!! Tuning your guitar may be the most important thing you should do before beginning to play.  Now, many people just purchase a guitar tuner for around $20 , but it is important to learn how to do it yourself first, in the event that your tuner is not available.  Plus, it is a great way to get introduced to your new instrument.

Last Time I talked about looking the part with good equipment to come across professionally, and ways to get up to speed on your singing. This week, I'm going to share some simple but often ignored pieces of information that can really push the impression you make from just a guitar player, to a fully fledged musician.

This article teaches you how to plug your guitar or bass right into your computer, to start sharing your musical ability with the world-wide internet music community. We are assuming that you have an electric guitar, bass guitar, or acoustic guitar with a pickup.
