Subject: RE: Nashville tuning-what gauge strings?
if you're fully pissed, you'll never worry about which string is correct! You'll just slap one on and twist the sucker into a picth somewhere close to tune!

Jes' kidding ;-)

Actually I had a string breakage problem for a while. I hated to do it, but I switched to using a nylon pick - I used to use a medium pick, but with the nylon picks I use one slightly heavier one then the ones they call medium ... and it stopped me from snapping strings. They don;t have as clean a sound at first, but you'll get used to 'em, and you can learn to get a good sound from 'em ...

try 'em - no string makers make strings that don;t break. I'm afraid if we're breaking strings, it's our own damn fault for using "gorilla stregth" on our strumming!
