Today's post and video are about the importance of keeping your guitar strings wiped down following every rehearsal, lesson, or performance session.
You may not realize it, but every time you play your guitar, your fingers leave behind traces of oil and perspiration which, along with the natural humidity in the air and airborne pollutants, begins to corrode your guitar strings.
Eventually the strings corrode, get "grungy," sound dull, and become way more likely to break!
By simply wiping down your strings and neck after every playing session, you will greatly extend the life of your strings,and they'll stay bright sounding.
As you can see in the video link below, any soft cloth will do; most music stores sell microfiber guitar cloths, but even a good old cotton T-shirt will work just fine.
Happy pickin' and cleanin'! The video link is below:
