I know this has been covered a lot before (and there are loads of YouTube videos) but I have become confused about which way to turn the truss rod.
I need to put some concave bow into my guitar's neck (it is perfectly flat and I have fret buzz). If I am sitting on my guitar bridge looking down the neck to the tuners, and I have an Allen key in the truss rod (the adjustment on my guitar is in the head stock), do I turn it right or left?
I though I had to go left right, but a quarter turn to the left did nothing then a half turn to the right seems to have put a slight concave bow in then neck...

Another way to remember is righty tighty, lefty loosey (looking from the headstock towards the bridge).
Therefore, by loosening it the strings will be able to bow the neck forwards.
