These conversations blow my mind !
I did not realize musicians go through so many strings. I think I have changed my strings twice the whole time I have owned my guitars.
However, I don't play or practice nearly as often as any of you.
I can't imagine a string breaking - why does that happen? Is it because you strum too hard, bend to much or what ?
Jim
Hey Jim. I find that I sweat quite a lot while playing, not just gigging but recording too the result being that the strings pick up grit, grease, dirt and if a player has acidic sweat then the strings will wear and break or just lose tone quickly as well as burning off any coating.
I love the tone and feel of new strings and I tend to slide up the arm quite a lot, when the strings are dirty it's a lot harder. I'm also lazy so I play with dead sounding strings for weeks before I bite the "bullet" (pun intended) and change them. That sounds contradictory doesn't it?

glad to know your so happy with your new baby. what strings are you putting on....fender bullets?
I will keep my fingers crossed for you 
My friend Jim who just got the same model as me suggested Elixir but I will switch to GHS .09 to .043 they have always been very reliable and longer lasting, I like the innovations especially the pickups noiseless and real punchy the tone is outstanding nuff said
Funny you should mention that, my Srat always sounded better with GHS strings! Yet the Tele is better with Fenders...go figure?
My pal Adrian (big Ade to his mates) tried some Earnie Balls, I said I've tried them in the past and they're too bendy. I saw him a week later and he told me they were in the bin, he plays finger picking style so they sound out of tune all the time, back to bullets!

Nice one. Worth a second or third listen.
Hi Shaggy, welcome to Chordie. Posting using chordpro takes a bit of getting used to so check out the stickies that you'll find at the top of each forum. You will also be able to post links to your recordings on SoundCloud or YouTube.
Not to be pedantic but you should have posted this one in chat, but don't worry, we haven't crucified anyone for a while...lol
One thing though, we do not allow bad language in the forum's..?? that's a given.
Please make use of all the resources, advice and help which will be freely given.
Hoping to hear more from you...soon

With the exchange rate, that works out very similar. All the ones I've seen on the web have the hard case also. I did find a site advertising the maple neck but I want to see if they'll take my old Strat in part exchange. I don't play it now, but I miss the whammy bar! Then I still have to work on Ann!!!!!!!! Wish me luck
The pic came up with me! I fell in love immediately. Then I checked out Jim's vid and loved it even more. So I checked out the price on UK websites...£1400 or there about, lefties are £1800 ish and that's with the rosewood neck. If I'm going to get one, and I really want one, I want a maple neck. I wonder how much they'd want for that?
Just as an aside. Clapton saw various Americans playing Strats in the late 60s, but couldn't get the maple neck in the UK, so he bought several in the US while on tour with Cream!
true my friend, there aint no pockets in shrouds. haven't heard much about the band lately, are you still going?
silly me! i thought it was called " clouds?" silly me. very nice rendition. well done.
You've done a really great job. I must be honest, I've never heard it before, lots of verses must make it a nightmare to learn? I don't know about terrorism but I made out a lot of varying themes, maybe I'm just shallow and don't look for the bigger picture? Thanks for sharing, how about sharing that hammock in the background and some of your summer heat?
I have conflicting thoughts about this...good ones, don't worry! I feel it's about servicemen returning home from conflict and struggling to find their way back to normality. So deep.
Server about to get a trio recording? I'd love to hear it.
Speaking it hadn't occurred to me, I'll try it and if it works out I'll post it. Thanks Jan.
I try to cut my nails once a week, usually a Thursday, lately it's been Monday. Long nails do interfere with fingering and long term can dig ruts in the fingerboard.
I want to practice everyday. When I do if I fluff too many chords or riffs the guitar goes back on it's hanger.
Here's one you haven't mentioned Bill....the internet! I should be practicing now but I like to check Chordie and my emails morning and evening
Of course there's marital interference, wash the dishes, hoover the carpet, hang that shelf. Etc etc
Thanks Jan, probably not. I wrote it as a jokey poem thingy. I bet Easybeat would make a good job of it though? Or maybe Peatle???

Extinguisher....I couldn't remember the word!!!! Not fire squirty thing. Word drop outs. Getting them a lot lately...sorry

that guitar is beautiful, i've dropped a few hints to Ann to say how much I'd love one of them but she pretends she didn't hear.
your words are surprisingly great for a jam? You've done a great job writing, recording, playing and obtaining such a beautiful instrument
oh, my glory days when I used to have a Marshall stack. It was a trannie amp but my Strat on 11 sounded so sweet. 100 of your dollars is around 75 of our pounds so that's one hell of a bargain. Did the shop get you or did you get them? Clever boy!!!!!

well done.
Hi Tony, great to hear from you again, you've been quiet lately. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
Russell_Harding wrote:I like it, kinda Elton Johnish good lyrics and vocal maybe a twinge to much reverb on them but overall a very fine recording
I agree with you there, the reverb must have been set for a previous song and as it was "a demo" I just left it there. Elton John?....I wish
thanks for the review

It could have got a lot weirder, just the right amount of weird. Thank you
You're sooooo right, Phill, and I constantly had to dial it back as I worked through it. Very observant of you!
Contrary to popular belief I do read through all these posts, especially the ones with doooble ontondras
(Contrary to popular belief I don't do French)
Thanks TF.
They've come up with an awful innovation called OVEN CHIPS!!!! Yuck. Less fat? Less taste more like. As your fine lady is from the north east I bet she makes a good chip? People from up there like to say the north east is the home of fish and chips and mushy peas.... that's an argument for another day lol

Always good to hear from you Jandle. Thanks for the kind review.

You are so kind Peatle. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.
