Tuning my guitar

Of my guitar

Steel strings

Forebodingly thin

Delicate

In tuning and appearance

If not tuned carefully

Cry the baleful ballade

It all comes down to this

Metronomic balance

Rests upon the fragile finality

Of the last string

Just a little tighter…

Still not there…

Just a little more…

My 'G' string is always the one that snaps on my guitar. It's a shit, no doubt about it..
— CervusWright
heh. G-string.
Anyway.
The high E must die.
I never use it anyway.
— povertea
My A always snaps.
— the_recluse

i'm mainly a drummer though
— TheHarlequin
I've never had a guitar string snap on me. But once, when I was younger, I had the E string from my violin snap and pop my face. It hurt like hell.
