OK, here's a story, ... well, ... it's more of a confession, but who cares!

I'm a pretty decent (mainly acoustic - not bothered with electric in many years) guitarist; been playing for 10 or more years. I play or have played blues, rock, metal, and classical. But guess what, ...

<CONFESSION>I have never strung a guitar</CONFESSION>

I'd like to say I know how, since I've seen my dad and other people string a guitar a million times, and for me, tuning it, is not rocket-science, so I'm fine with that part - I've avoided stringing one for my entire guitarist years, but avoiding tuning it is practically impossible, unless you like, ... hire a tuner. ¬_¬ And I tune entirely by ear, none of that electrical nonsense. Granted, if I'm playing alongside a track/song, I might shoot for as close a tuning to the track/song, as possible, by using a PC one that plays a tone, then you match it.

Why haven't I ever strung a guitar? Well, I've just gotten into the habit of giving the guitar to my dad and saying "Can you string this for me, please?" I'm betting he loves it. I've only strung one string before, I think, and it was pretty easy; it was on a classical guitar. I'm pretty sure I could figure it out on an acoustic/electric. xD

In my defense, I do tend to keep strings on a guitar for years and years, although I do have 4 or 5 guitars.

When I get a place of my own (in progress) I'll start doing it myself, since I can't very well pester him to come over and string the guitar for me, ... or can I?

The End
