March 24, 200818 yr On my guitar... I tune to open e to play She Talks to Angels by the Black Crows, and because its the only song I can sing and play I tune it up quite often. Is this a common occurrence because I do it often or am I buying the wrong strings or tuning wrong somehow? I broke two strings on two guitars in a matter of 5 minutes and I almost cried. I appreciate any advice. p.s. open e is where you tune the A and D string up a whole step, and the G string up half a step. I just don't understand why the G keeps breaking if I only tune it up a half step. I don't know, help me!!
March 24, 200818 yr Well at least the thread title will get people interested initially. :lol: I found these two sites: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-78607.html http://www.deanmarkley.com/Info/Instruction/Instruction01InTune.shtml If you have already read those, then I can't be of any help since I don't play guitar or associate myself with G-strings of any kind.
March 24, 200818 yr Slightly misleading thread!!!!! You are likely to get advice from posters that have not a clue what a guitar even looks like!:lol::lol:
March 24, 200818 yr Tuning to a higher pitch means the string is tighter than it would normally be. I would think that would have an impact. Nice title. I was expecting a picture of some kind...
March 24, 200818 yr You can play it without tuning the strings up. I think the chorus part is just A + G. It's been awhile but I used to play it a lot. That's one of my all time favorite songs.

When I was noodling around with your guitar over this past weekend, I noticed the G on your electric was sour as well. BUT I DIDN'T DO IT!
March 24, 200818 yr :scared: When I saw this thread, I thought that maybe you have gained too much weight and needed to go on a diet!:laugh::laugh:

March 24, 200818 yr I've never broken a string tuning to open E. Maybe you should try stretching the strings.
March 24, 200818 yr This happens to me all the time! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: On my guitar of course!

March 24, 200818 yr Any string you buy are going to break more frequently when you change tunes on the guitar frequently, just a consequence of the game.
