FINALLY. Someone else that feels this way. I have been told that I am insane for thinking THIS is the way to gauge depth of nut slots. To ME it just makes sense. Yes you have to be careful to NOT go too far... I get that. But, to me, THIS is the whole purpose of setting the depth..... to counter the "sharpness" that happens when you fret the "cowboy chords".
unfortunately it works nice for experienced people, but as a beginner+ it really hard to understand :( So for the first years its better to use some static and good method for measurement, instead of getting wrong feeling But ok, I got a lot of nuts to try everyhing out... :D I've got only one important question so far - If I trying to adjust: Nut, Truss Rod and Saddle. What is algorithm to check where is the bad point at those 3 points if I pick the string to strong and it start doint buzz or like a "kick", dont know how to explain it, buzz hapens when it hits the Fret multiple times while vibrating, but a string kick happens only once and then the string keeps vibrating, but with much less energy. Which is exactly the issue, which I want to adjust on my plaing style.
My advice would be to at least try. Even using a static method, you still need to get a feel for cutting nut slots. Once you get it, you get it. As for an "algorithm", I think of it like this: the nut when cut reasonabley well, is a essentially a fixed point whereas relief and saddle height have more flexibility and influence. Overall, the least amount of buzz will depend on a fine balance between relief and saddle height.
