So just remember every little adjustment you make in one area of a guitar will require one in another. Like if your playing with your action, your intonation might go out. It's a lot of back and forth. YouTube videos are your best bet but remember one thing! Any adjustments you make can be unmade EXCEPT for over tightening your truss rod, you can permanently damage it like that so be very careful

About that, when you are practically adjusting the rod you get in with your little tool ( these L shaped tools for me, the one that came with the guitar) and when you are turning the wrench you are hitting the strings, like bending them, its normal?

It's fine if they slip out of the nut. Use the other end (straight end) and you should be fine as you should only be turning it an 1/8 to a 1/4 turn at a time

Got it. I was getting a little worried, seems like the electric guitar strings are more flexible than anything I have played
