Time spent on changing guitar strings throughout my musical life has always been fulfilling. It may turn out frustrating at times especially if there’s a hurry and urgency to it, but most times it turns out to be very rewarding.
It’s sometimes quite difficult to decide on the perfect time to change the strings. One day before a gig? Two days before? Or maybe five hours before the show starts? I don’t quite know yet.
But I do feel that the first five minutes of slapping on a fresh pair of strings sounds the sweetest, brightest and warmest. After that, it’s downward spiral.
