quick guitar quest.
how often are u supposed to change ur strings... or do u leave them on till one breaks?
cuz my strings are kinda buzzing a little.. and i wasnt sure if that had anything to do with old strings.. if sumone can answer me that would be awesome. ...rock on man... |
Well it really depends upon how often you play. I play about two hours every day or so therefore I change my strings every couple of weeks.
|
yeah man

I change mine every few months... |
Haha I dunno...basic electric strings. When I was at my local store, the guy told me to change them at often (and no, he wasn't trying to get me to buy more strings).
|
you don't have to change them that much... do you take them all off... and then put them all on again... or do you do them one at a time..? because taking them all off (and then have no strings on) and then putting them all on... really can reek havoc on your neck
|
I change it when it breaks
|
I took them all off at once, but now I won't. Thanks for the tip, Matt. ;)
|
yeah... because the strings put alot of resistance on the neck... and when you take them off... your neck can bend slightly... and if you keep doing that... over a period of yrs it can really weaken your neck... and it won't sound as good...
|
i try to play 4+ hours every day, but on the 3 days per week i work i only get in 2 or so (parents love me playing at 11 pm till 1 lol)
i use elixer nanowebs so i really only need to change them once a month or so, they hold up really well. I most often wait a month or until they start to lose their tone, usually the month comes first, that's why i like them so much. |
yeah... i use DR... and they are SO much better than what i used to use... i just got them about a month ago... so they may be different then earie ball
|
i change them about once a month, and about 4 times a year i take them all off and i clean every single fret and just about everything you can clean to leave my guitar shiny as hell

She was basically saying that she was gonna pray for the situation with the guitar...and the poor guitar, hehe
|
Haha oh. I'm sure the poor guitar will be fine.
|
I like your name, It reminds me of a SOD song! hehe
|
so who makes good strings, any recomendations?
|
DR, Daddarrio...
|
i saw the ones Tremonti uses, they were like 55 bucks
|
That's just insane! No matter how famous he is! bah! That would be 100 bucks Australian!
Flippin companies...........grrrrrrrr |

I don't think they're that expensive because Mark uses them, I think they're just that expensive because they're excellent strings. |

U would be surprised. And it's not Mark's fault either...take for instance fender. I was told that the Blink 182 custom is more expensive than one of the Iron Maiden customs and the Blink 182 one isnt as good a guitar. It's a cash-in on the band's popularity.
