Been playing close to 5 years now and I've never broken a string. How weird is that? It's not like I don't bend whole+ tones - I don't know what to make of it. Anyways, at practice we were doing Holy Diver, and about 16 bars before the solo (yah - I broke it sliding a 1-5-1 chord... go figure), all of a sudden, I'm feeling fretboard - ?? haha. dang thing broke on the inside - the spiral shell was still in tact and I had this drooping string like a slinky gone wild - one of the guys there took the strap off his guitar, stuck it on a spare in a corner, just and handed it back to me just in time for the solo - haha.
I donno - I have childish pride now - I broke a string! haha.Kindof a lame break I admit, but I'll carve a notch in my belt for that one
