How To Make Your Guitar Strings Last Longer: A Guide for Musicians

Guitar strings are an essential component of your instrument, directly influencing your sound and playing experience. However, they can wear out quickly if not properly cared for, leading to dull tones, increased breakage, and more frequent replacements. If you’re looking to make your guitar strings last longer, follow these practical tips to keep them in top condition for longer.

1. **Wash Your Hands Before Playing**

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to prolong the life of your guitar strings is to wash your hands before playing. Natural oils, dirt, and sweat from your hands can accumulate on the strings, causing them to corrode faster. Clean hands reduce the amount of grime that comes into contact with your strings, helping to keep them fresher for longer.

2. **Wipe Down Your Strings After Each Use**

After playing, it’s important to wipe down your strings with a clean, dry cloth. This removes any sweat, dirt, or oils that may have transferred from your fingers during your session. By taking a few moments to do this after each practice or performance, you can significantly slow down the process of string degradation.

3. **Use String Cleaners and Lubricants**

There are products specifically designed to clean and lubricate guitar strings. These cleaners help to remove grime and protect the strings from rust and corrosion. Lubricants can also reduce friction, making the strings feel smoother and easier to play while extending their lifespan. Apply these products according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.

4. **Store Your Guitar Properly**

Proper storage of your guitar can also contribute to the longevity of your strings. Keep your guitar in a case when not in use to protect it from dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, all of which can affect string quality. If you live in a particularly humid or dry climate, consider using a humidity control system in your guitar case to maintain an optimal environment.

5. **Change Your Strings Regularly**

While the goal is to make your strings last as long as possible, they won’t last forever. Changing your strings regularly before they reach the point of breaking or sounding dull can actually save you money in the long run. This is because old strings can put more stress on your guitar’s neck and hardware, leading to costly repairs.

6. **Play With Clean Technique**

How you play can also impact the lifespan of your strings. If you tend to have a heavy touch or frequently bend strings, they may wear out faster. Developing a clean technique with a lighter touch can reduce the strain on your strings, helping them last longer. Additionally, consider using coated strings, which are designed to be more durable and resist corrosion.

7. **Consider the Right String Material**

Different string materials have varying lifespans. For example, coated strings generally last longer than uncoated ones because they have a protective layer that resists corrosion. Stainless steel strings are also known for their durability. When choosing strings, consider your playing style and how often you perform to select a material that meets your needs for longevity.

Final Thoughts

Extending the life of your guitar strings is not only about saving money but also about maintaining the quality of your sound and the playability of your instrument. By incorporating these habits into your routine, you can keep your strings in excellent condition for longer, allowing you to focus on what matters most—making music.

Remember, a little care goes a long way in preserving the vitality of your strings, so take the time to maintain them properly and enjoy a better playing experience.

Guitar Myth Vs. Fact

Nita Strauss - The Call Of The Void

While it's common for bands and solo artists to release albums, it's more uncommon these days to see an instrumental musician release a solo album, especially in certain genres. Jazz music, for example, is known for instrumental albums, and many different artists have released their own records by themselves, or with other musicians, but rock and metal aren't known for that. They're known for singers to release solo albums, but not musicians. That's why the sophomore solo album, entitled The Call Of The Void, from guitarist Nita Strauss is very interesting. Strauss has been getting a lot of buzz and hype lately, thanks to being both a guitarist of Alice Cooper's backing band and Demi Lovato's backing band, but she's also found the time to release solo albums, starting with 2018's Uncontrolled Chaos. I've never listened to that, but instrumental albums can be kind of overwhelming and intimidating, especially if they're long. That album was quite long, if I recall, but so is The Call Of The Void. What separates this one, however, is that Strauss does the smart thing by making this record a bit more accessible by adding a handful of guest vocalists from the worlds of rock and metal.

Both records are still around an hour long (this one is even longer if you include the instrumental versions of the songs with vocalists on them), but this one doesn't feel its length. The album is littered with a variety of instrumental cuts and songs with vocalists, so it makes for an interesting listen. Hell, even just the list of guest vocalists is interesting, and should make most rock and metal fans curious about this, thanks to featuring Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, Chris Motionless of Motionless In White, Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy, David Draiman of Disturbed, Anders Friden of In Flames, and Alice Cooper himself. There are a few more, but those are some huge names. You'd think that this record would be a mixed bag, because each song would sound different, or the quality would vary between vocalists, but it doesn't. Honestly, I love The Call Of The Void, and this is easily one of the best rock and metal albums I've heard all year (possibly of the last few years as well). The sad thing is, this record will go unnoticed by a lot of people because Strauss isn't a household name just yet. This record has a very consistent sound and feel to it, all the while having enough variety in each track to make it a unique listen. Every song goes between hard-rock and heavy metal, whereas some tracks leans towards metalcore, arena-rock, melodic death metal, and nu-metal, but there's just enough of the "core" sound of this record that keep them all somewhat similar, especially when Strauss comes in at various points with killer riffs and solos.

Yeah, as great as a lot of the vocalists are here (more on that in a second), Strauss herself is the best part of it. Her guitarplaying is utterly fantastic, and I find myself really going back to some of the instrumental cuts on here, such as opener "Summer Storm," or "Consume The Fire," "Scorched," and "Momentum." The songs with vocalists are great, too, and a lot of them feature fantastic hooks that really get stuck in your head, as well as some great riffs and solos that showcase her playing very well, despite being a more accessible sound. One could argue that she limits herself by contorting her playing to that of the guest vocalists, and to an extent, I can understand that, but it's also a testament to the amount of different styles she can play and not miss a beat. She doesn't sound out of place at any point. She can play nu-metal / alt-metal with David Draiman on "Dead Inside," hard-rock with Lzzy Hale on "Through The Noise," or melodic death metal with Alissa White-Gluz on "The Wolf You Feed," and it all sounds natural. Even the metalcore cut on this record with Chris Motionless, "Digital Bullets," still works very well, because alongside a pretty solid breakdown, there's a great solo in that song (definitely one of the best on the album).

The album's length at around an hour may turn some people off, and I get that, but I find myself coming back to this album a lot. I get super excited when certain tracks come up, because I'm just so excited to listen to it over and over. If you enjoy hard-rock and/or heavy metal in any capacity, I'd listen to this. It doesn't do anything that you haven't heard before, but the solos, riffs, and hooks are enough to really elevate this album. The vocalists on here never become the sole focus of the record, which can be an issue when musicians feature vocalists, because the vocalists can take center stage, but just when you think that the vocalists are becoming the most important part, Strauss comes through with a face-melting solo that reminds you that this is her record. Adding vocalists, however, is a very good idea, because it makes for a more accessible and digestible listen. Sure, it's around an hour, but it doesn't lose its edge, momentum, or interest. It never gets boring, and that's surprising with albums this long, but I've always said that it takes the right album to keep me engaged for more than 40 - 45 minutes. If an album can do that, it's something special, and boy, this album is something special. it's one of the best of the year, so check it out.

Sturgill Simpson in Berlin the other night. First time post pandemic and and the playful sonic of a hedgehog we love. Sometimes a bit lost in his guitarplay. But, spanning wide from classic Sturgill to Johnny Blue Skies. Quite enjoyable!

Porcelain

Dear Henry,

What a read. I'm currently reading "Porcelain, a memoir" by Moby. It describes in a funny and entertaining way the uprising of Moby as a DJ and musician.

I did know that he is a selfmade man but did not now that he grew up in poverty as a kid and lived in poverty before his success with "Go" and the "All is wrong" album. It was very inspiring to read that even after the success, Moby did keep his frugal lifestyle of cheap clothes, and secondhand furniture and remained straight edge (although there are indications in the curren chapter that he will fall of the staight edge wagon later).

The book insprired me to pick up the guitar again and I've already subscribed to online music & guitar courses, and made a plan to get my guitarplaying on level again.

Thank you Moby!

Kind regards, M
