If you could only use 1 of your strings to play on, what string would you pick and why.

I like all strings equally and could never bring myself to choose one over another.

I would have to pick the D string. Don't really know why, but that's the one I'd pick.

I'd go with High E I guess.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

I play the G more than others so I guess I would have to say the G. My 2nd choice would have been the low E.

Thanks for ruining all our fun Mr. fancy pants.
Man I hate smart people. They make me feel so inadequite with my 1/3rd of a brain.
If I had to choose only one string to play, it would have to be the F string. I would have to invent it first, but that is the string I would play forever.

I'd switch to keyboards. Keyboard players get a lot of women... :)

...doesn't specifically mention a guitar string.

Very clever by the way.
