I've done it again, i've snapped another string, it happens so often i think i'm going to have to stock up 5 packs of strings at a time. This time it was just tuning up. What can i do to help reduce the amount of times i snap strings? I've tried 2 different types now, D'Addario XLs and Ernie Ball Slinkys and they both seem to just snap really easily for me. Sometimes i'll do just a full step bend and they'll go. But this isn't the first time i've had strings snap on me when i was just tuning up. It's a bit ridiculous :/
