It doesent have to be your favorite, but there must be a reason why you choose that string, so please tell us about it. I know Slash's first guitar had only 1 string, but i never knew which! Anyways, mine would be the G String (), why? because i love doing bending, artificial harmonics, slides, natural harmonics, etc. on it! i do them almost exclusively on that string! So...Whats yours?

You can't solo on 1 string, and especially not SWEEP so i guess i would take low E to at least be able to riff You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
