KeithT Groupie Join Date: Jan 2011 Posts: 7	I have been playing guitar for 5 years now and i have only broken 2 strings, and it was when i was tuning. I play fingerstyle and play very softly, i don't even use a pick when i play electric! I experiment with different tunings, it was the G and E string and I was trying to tune them too high!
