low action and high action?

[iamjoyful]

mas ok saken low action pero the disadvantage i experience is that mahirap mag slide kasi tumatama masyado sa fret wire ung daliri ko.

sa high action naman naexperience ko, matigas ung strings at nahihirapan talaga ako mag bend.

high action for blues (more bending), because its easier to bend at high notes, not good in low action
low action for shredding (fast lick, fast hammer-ons and flick-offs, tappings), its hard to do this on high action set-up

...i learn it from the internet lessons, and i find it plausible...

ako low action, di ko alam advantage, pero comfortable kasi

you must know your genre first... refer to my first post ^... 

i'm learning blues for now and i find it more suitable in high actions...
when i'm playing my Metallica cover song (Fade to black), i find it difficult to shred and perform fast licks...
and i'm tired of setting-up my guitar over and over again...
now, no more shredding lessons, since my guitar is on high action mode 

this is based on my experience, i don't know if its applicable to general players...
