So I´ve been complaining for 2-3 weeks for myself about how bad my guitar sounds, specially on high E. Sounds out of tune even when only playing 1 string at a time. So I decided to change them just a moment ago. Took the old ones out and started getting new ones in there. Low E... lalalala... A.. lalalala... And when I´m working on D string, made the "knot" and started straining it I was reading on my screen. I think it was a chat with a girl... haha, I can´t remember, to traumatised wink.gif So after a few seconds I noticed, hey it isn´t sounding yet. Looked at my "knot" and it looked ok.. So I started screwing again. Oh my god, it isn´t even moving (now I looked down from the screen.) Oh well I thought I cut the leftovers from the other strings since they was in the way from me looking in to what I did wrong.. Cut the string and bang!!!
A string broke... haha, I had been straining that one instead of D string, and was already tight before I started.. :/

My first string changing failure... xD And if it wasn´t enough while changing high E string I reached for it and the pointing finger hit the spot where I just recently cut the B string. So it was sharp as.. Anyway, started bleeding!

Just not my night.

edit: note to self.. Focus on the right G.. Guitar.. Not girl! biggrin.gif Same goes for G-string biggrin.gif
