Hi, I’m a beginner learning guitar. I noticed that after a month or so my guitar doesn’t sound the same but it’s not too bad. And I am hesitant to tune my guitar frequently because I’m afraid that some strings might snap.
Is it fine to not tune guitar until it sounds garbage (unrecognizable)?
Brand new strings will go out of tune quickly at first before they settle in, you’ll need to tune frequently for the first few hours of playing. You won’t break them by tuning. After a few months of daily playing the strings will start to sound dull and notes won’t ring out for as long after you pick them. I recommend Elixir brand strings, they seem to keep their tone much longer than any of the others I’ve tried.
