hey my bro has serios problems with breaking stings. and he's not pushing hard. what do I tell him

[jumping_jack_splash]

how long has that set been on? More than three months, he should probably change them

what gague are they? if they are too light they will snap, i like to use 10's

does he look after his guitar? keep it clean etc, it wont damage the strings, but it dulls the tone, he should was his hands first to get of germs

[stewy]

huh. that makes sense. yeah he has 10's too. but he hasn't changed them in forever so thats probibly it. tnx. oh one more question. how do I get an avitar. I'm new

[LooPbacK]

Tell him to take it softly and if he's using a pick tell him to stop...

That is the stupidest advice i've ever heard, most people that dont have steel fingertips need picks to play guitar, why the hell would he stop?

[stewy]

picks make them break
well good thing I hate picks.

Oke.. my strings dont break with getting in contact with my pick.. And yeah on a accoustic you dont need really a pick but my strings not even break on the accoustisch while i using a pick.

If strings break while using a pick, why people invented them and why are many people using picks???? But oke..

It can be that the pick is to think for the string and than you have to pick harder then normal... for a good sound. Try in that a case, a thinner pick.. That can be ''A'' possibillty..

It can also be (i read this somewhere) some things sticking out on your fretboard.
Its like something is sharp what hits the strings an make him brake.. But i am not really sure.. because i dont know really how to put this...

[stewy]

hey thanks for the info. but we found out he was streaching them every morning or something. what a moron. he was pulling the stings as hard as he could before school. holy cow

[Claptonman]

You are suppose to stretch them out a little after you put new strings on.

[Father Fonz]

Upstrokes using a pick (especially by a beginner) could well break strings but it probably is just that fact that they are old.

[stewy]
