Maybe?? oh and the typo on the sheet Leose=Loose.

" I aint seen nothin " ... ...
" Aint " is short for " is not "
i'll take it that " nothin " means " nothing "
so you say " I is not seen nothing " ??
both " not " and " nothing " are words of denial..
double denial cancels out.
so... basicly what you are saying is " I is seen everything "

I found this site that might help explain how the truss rod works. It gives a better explaination than I can, so I edited my reply and cut it out. Just check out the site.  Truss Rod

| Colloquially, apparently better than you. But that's what happens when you learn a language out of a book.
Moving along... 
If you look at the diagram below, it says to tighten if bowed and loosen if humped, which gibes. On the other diagram, where it says to "Tighten for bow/Loosen for hump," what they're trying to say is "Tighten if you see that it is bowed/Loosen if you see it's all humpy and stuff."
Kinda confusing, but correct. |

|  | So much flame, it burns............ | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Las Vegas, NV. | | | Its correct. What they mean by "hump" is commonly refered to as "back-bow". Usually from a truss rod being too tight. So you would loosen (counter clockwise) the rod to (hopefully) relieve the "hump" and let the neck straighten and then "bow" slightly for relief. Be careful because your strings are going to go flat and when you tune up again its going to increase tension and create more "bow" in the neck where you may have to tighten (clockwise) the rod back up a bit to compensate.

Proper American is " I ain't seen nothin, nohow." or "I ain't never seen nothin ..."
That makes it a triple negative therfore grammatically correct.
If you'd really like to mangle the English language Yous guys should come to Philadelphia some time.
