Now that you've unboxed your new guitar apply an ample amount of carpet cleaner to the bottom bout. Lather it on there as the bout will hold plenty. Grasp loosely the finger board high up near the head stock. Too tight a grip may crack the nut from pressure being applied to the strings but too loose a grip may cause slippage or spinning in the hand. Now go Find that dog shit area on your carpets by the back door where lil' Rex did his business this morning. Bend slightly at the knees and start a sweeping motion with long sweeps..... back and forth........ side to side....... Re apply if necessary and repeat until all dog shit is thoroughly disturbed. Enjoyed brother ;)
