strings

I can't speak for everyone. I tend to change my strings when they need to be tuned more often. Regardless off how often you play/practice, they strings will eventually lose tension. Keeping the strings wiped down will add life to them...I mean wiping them keeping them clean.

stymye ?

Do you use Fast Fret or anything like that to clean strings ? I wounder if that would help any. I will keep strings on way past the point, they should be changed . I'm the only one that has to listen to my playing . I do know you can keep strings on so long that they will sound bad even if a cheap tuner says they are in tune . : )
