I've only ever had strings break once, when tuning the thin E string. Never when playing. (Been playing guitar for 1½ years.)

the high e.
all. the. time. it's kinda frustrating.
anybody got any ideas as to where i'm going wrong?

Same here. Idk I guess it always breaks cuz i use it so much for shredding and double tapping xD

Again, that wouldn't be the problem. If you're breaking strings either your technique is terrible or your guitar has a problem. Someone with good technique should never break a string while playing a well setup guitar.

Same for the post above yours. Learn to play without jackhammering the strings (You can only hit a string so hard before its pointless and won't be any louder), or alternatively, look at the guitar being the problem.

Sorry Gb but your clearly wrong. He shreds SO hard that strings can no longer take it. Dont blame him his guitar just cant hold up to the level of shred he brings to the table. This should be inspiration to go home and practice scales until our fingers bleed and possibly fall off completely.

That would be the problem then, no? Shredding is about precision and finesse, not tremolo picking with the force of an angry bull.

The only string I break on my Fender Strat is the bottom E one.

Wow..I break strings all the time. Almost if not always the G string. However I play a lot of blues that are S.R.V. inspired and Hendrix influenced so...go figure. I play an extra light string is part of the problem I know. I think its just whatever your style is. Now if your playing mellow music and breaking strings..I dont know what to tell ya.

You still shouldnt break strings, even death metal players shouldnt break them.

Hmm beats me then..I saw SRV break them quite often so I just thought it was part of that style. But im an expert of nothing.
