A few tips for getting the most out of your guitar strings.

There’s nothing like the sound of a fresh set of strings on your guitar. It stays in tune longer and has better intonation and more sustain.  How often you change them depends on how much playing you do. This can get kind of expensive when you’re gigging or woodshedding.
For example, when I’m playing 6 nights a week, my strings are starting to sound dead after the 4th or 5th night. Ideally, I’d like to use a new set every second night, but at $6+ a set, I guess I’ll just practice good string hygiene and save the cash.
