“When I'm recording clean rhythm guitars, there's often a lot of muted strumming and ghost notes, and GruvGear's FretWraps help me maintain a tight, dampened sound that's just great for Funk and R&B! When I'm playing lead parts with distortion, my FretWrap allows me to focus on having a fluid and accurate playing without worrying about keeping those unwanted overtones and resonances away.”
