Mother Fucking, Fucking Strings

[Johnny Couth]

I just broke two strings on my electric guitar, which matched with string my girlfriend broke on my acoustic guitar, means I don't have a playable guitar which sucks because there is no where to buy strings in the middle of east fucking bum fuck maine, where I live, and I have a show tommorow. Anyone want to mail me a guitar? I will trade you three broken strings.

[DamnthatDavid]

God hates your band.

[Johnny Couth]

It made the backup's day because he plays lead now. I'm fine with the songs that I sing because I can just sing, but I am going to need to come up with saxophone or keyboard parts for the other songs, or just walk off the stage for them, which would just be shame full.

[MetalMilitia]

You could make a string out of cats, but it might only work with violins.

[Johnny Couth]

I think I might see if I can "borrow" one of those cheap acoustic guitars my school has for a night and hope no one notices. The problem is, they can't hook up to an amp.

[Terra]

See if you were a superhero, you could pull a couple of hairs out of your ass and KAPOW! New strings!!

[Johnny Couth]

Stop, you're gonna make me cry.

That is always fucking lame. I blew out my classic amp,snapped 2 strings on my Fender,snapped two on my generic whenever guitar,and snapped ALL of the cords on my acoustic. I wish there was some kind of string alloy that doesn't break :(

Quit bieng such a pansey and get some heavy gauge strings.

I honestly don't know how people break strings so often, I dont think I have in years.
Unless you are breating the shit out of some gauge 9 slinkys or something most strings will last untill they need to be replaced.

The strings I had on my electric were given to me, and they were thin. The one on my acoustics are some seriously masculine strings and I dont know how my girlfriend broke it, but I done think she was playing it at the time.

How do strings break, anyway? My brother was loosening a string on his guitar and it snapped.

They snap to piss people off >:

I dont see how loostening it could break it, but if you strum to hard or tighten to much it will snap.

[maggiekarp]

Maybe they snapped 'cuz all I could play was Robo's Theme and the beginning of a gay anime song >:

Srriosuly, I suck at guitar :/ It's a good thing I don't say I play guitar or anything.

I couldn't live with myself if I corrected that typo. It's too beautiful.

:O

if you're a serious guitar player in a band that actually plays out and you live in a place where you can't buy strings at leisure, you make sure you have extra sets. doh. get it together. you'd be fired from my band, mister.

[Terra]

But wouldn't that be too easy?

[Matt Harty]

today is a sad day

March 14: Neva 4get.

[Johnny Couth]

Everything turned out okay, my friend brang in his guitar and lent it to me for the night.

[Terra]

Did somebody brang you the "Easy" button?

[Dr. V]

OMG I work at Staples!


But yeah, you should like order a bunch of strings from muscians friend or something. Or move somewhere where there's a guitar center near by.

[sadie]

he brang it, did he?

[Skulhedface]

Hahaha, what a fag. I've had the same 6 strings on my guitar for almost 6 years now. And this is with me playing it long enough to have bloody fingers at times.

[MetalMilitia]

They must sound like shit. Get a new set, you won't regret it.

[Alive]

I was gonna say, talk about no pitch..

Music store's around here usualy have ernie ball/dean markley's 2/$5 or 3/$10. but online i would imagine there's even better deal's to be had.

[Skulhedface]

Surprisingly they've held up very well. No pitch problems whatsoever, although I AM about ready to change strings, if anything just because I fear they're gonna break sometime soon.

Semi-related: On St. Patrick's Day, I'm going to my friend's band's show and I'm gonna get their bassist good and drunk and smash my old ass acoustic over his head. I shall yell "KABONG!" in the process.

I dunno why. Just seems kinda fun. Plus, I figure it's more fitting than unceremoniously throwing it away.

You are probably just used to it sounding the way it does. As soon as you stick a new set on you'll be all like "oh shit, thats better".

Unless you are tone deaf in which case I doubt you'll notice :/

[Juttin]

Yes,if you are Deftones

[Johnny Couth]

he brang it, did he?

All night long.

When I first started playing I went a year without changing my strings, because I am stuipd. It sounded awesome when I finally changed them on a wim one day.
