Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you are most likely either new here or completely retarded, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Then I'd say, "Mission Accomplished!"

It should be significantly better than electric guitar strings that are only replaced when one breaks. Hmm...

It's a bit of a toss-up. Coated are awesome, but deaden the sound a bit. I might just have to pick a different brand of strings next time, uncoated, so that you can hear the difference between them. The coated will sound a lot different, easy to hear the difference. So, maybe I'll pick something more challenging.

More challenging how?

More challenging to hear the difference - assuming you've got damaged hearing from a lifetime of music.

See, there's also a big difference if you buy some of the more expensive (non-coated, traditional) strings. It's a pretty big difference, but you may not notice it all that much 'cause, you know, you're a rock star. I automatically assume you have damaged hearing, and worse most folks with damaged hearing don't think they have damaged hearing until they go and get tested.

So, next time I'll possibly send you some strings that were made by hand. Well, they're made on machines but each string is an operation controlled by a human and they make them one at a time. They're not sitting there with some sort of strange device to wind the strings by hand. They're operating a special machine. It's a neat process to watch.

Strings, the things that cause the guitar to make noise, are actually capable of being pretty complicated.

Something like Stringjoy has some brilliant tones. It'll be a challenge for you to notice - again, assuming you've lost your high register and have scar tissue built up on your ear drums.

I am sure my hearing has been affected by years of loud music appreciation and enjoyment
