Changes

You should be '''changing your strings at least every 2-3 months''', more often if you play them a lot. Generally, it's a good idea to '''change them once a month''', or even more frequent frequently if you are a professional. Many popular artists with dedicated guitar techs will put a new set of strings on after every show! New strings will ''stay in tune'' better, have ''longer sustain'', produce a ''richer and brighter tone'', and be ''easier to play''. If you want to get more life from your strings, '''wash your hands before playing''' and wipe the strings down with some rubbing alcohol every now and then. You don’t want them to get covered in dirt and corrosive materials.
