Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Your level of callouses and skin can change that a great deal. Also, it'll go away as the strings get filled with bits of your dead strings. You can get string-glide type of products or just live with it and be more careful

And, the guitar should sound great. They're solid strings.

Remind me, when these start to deaden, to send you coated strings. You don't get that noise with coated strings. I'll eventually ship you some so that you can at least try them.

yeah they are just a bit rougher cause they never been touched before I think

Your dead skin will get caught between the winds and make it smoother - at which point the strings will be dead. It's a bit of the price we pay.

But, coated strings eliminate this, so I'll send coated strings next time. In the meantime, be lighter on the strings and you can eliminate that sound. I play new strings pretty much exclusively and you don't hear me squeaking often.1

I just do the pick up my fingers thing, its only certain songs that happens bad enough to bother me
