I just felt like telling you all that one of my strings just snapped. I was tuning my guitar to F# F# F# F# E B and my A string popped. Curses!
A really interesting story to tell

That tumbleweed is like the perfect response to everything! I'm impressed.

Ok, so my A string snapped. Big deal. I was meaning to change them anyway. I put on the new strings. No biggie. Gave me something to do. I was stretching the strings after they were on. The A string snapped. I can't type the word that exploded from my mouth, as it's against forum rules. I went into my dad's little drawer full of really old used strings he should have thrown out decades ago. These strings sit in there amongst the harmonicas which are rusted and smell of dad's smoky breath.
Now my A string is nasty. It smells like rusting string combined with smoker's breath, which is really exactly what it is.

What possible use could that tuning have?

I WAS tuning it down.
[QUOTE=Jolly McJollyson]What possible use could that tuning have?
Like I said, playing Sonic Youth songs. Little else.
By the way, is it possible to buy single strings, or do you have to buy a pack at a time? That A string I put on is super nasty and I don't really want to buy another pack, because the rest of the strings are fine.

How did you snap it tuning down?

No idea. My strings snap when I'm tuning them down way more than when I'm tuning up, which as far as I'm concerned, defies the laws of physics.

Hmm, I am totally befuddled. And no, I've never seen strings for sale individually. Best to restring all at once regardless.

Crap. So the five new strings I put on were for naught?

I just changed mine last night, you can have my old A string. It's not new, but it's probably in better condition than the one on there now.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.
