Violin strings breaking in fingerboard area With the addition of the "strings unwinding", I have an unrelated answer to my previous answer. I used to play acoustic in an otherwise electric band, and I would play hard so I could hear myself, and I would play with a brass pick to sound brighter, so I could hear myself. I got to the point of getting an unwound G string for my acoustic, just so the windings wouldn't break and split. That is very unusual. It only happened with me when I was playing hard with what amounted to a small brass knife. There is something, and I have no idea what, that's going on with your strings. |

Why does the D string in a guitar breaks so often? The most common string to break for me, before I learned to tune, was the E because I overtighten it. Once I got better at tuning, I started first grinding then popping the G string, but that was because I was swinging hard and using a brass pick which was sharpening against the strings, which is not a common case. I only break the low E when there's a problem with the string manufacturer. Which can and does happen. If the D string breaks often for you, talk to your repair guy. |

Is it possible for the unwound strings wear faster than the wound strings on a Guitar? I agree. When I lose a string, I usually use that as an indicator that the others are about ready to go, too. |

How do you identify a good guitar? Thing is, if a person wants to play like Jimi, no acoustic will satisfy her, and if a person wants play delicate acoustic to accompany a voice like Joni Mitchell, few electrics are up to that task and they're expensive, and Joni went MIDI and electric way late. They're distinct instruments and not too comparable. |

How can I generate nice-sounding random chord progressions? It is common to use lower case to indicate minors. So, that would be I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi. I don't know how they indicate diminished. |

Causes of sharp pain in a fretting finger after playing guitar or bass? Same with single notes. Not only are you causing yourself pain with too much pressure, you're also pushing yourself sharp and wrecking your speed. |
