Thread Name: Why does my G string keep breaking?
Subject: RE: Why does my G string keep breaking?
what is your style of playing, what do you use, a pleckie, thumb pick,

bet you use one of these and not just yer bare thumb

What make guitar you got ?

Has it been 'set up' by some one who knows how? with an easy action or are you having to press hard into the frets?

do you only accompany yerself? I think not.

What songs do you sing?

Do you play with others? if so in what kind of scenarios?

I am willing to waive consultation fees in this case

I used to break strings regularly but havent done so for ages - years even - and I play/perform on average 20 - 25 hours a week.

I still may not be able to help, but more info is required
