They do not break. They are the same strength as normal strings. They just don't sound as great as metal strings. They are easier to strum. I would recomend getting metal strings, they will sound better and the calluses that you will get on your hands will make it easier to play.

Why wont your guitar strings stay in tune?

because they expand after a while and tends to get loose --------------------- That is normal when you put new strings on your guitar, in just a while they should hold tune quite well unless your guitar neck is warped or some other damage to the guitar. If other people play your guitar or if it gets moved alot it is easy to bump the tuning keys and untune the guitar.


Can you use acoustic guitar strings for acoustic electric?

using acoustic strings on an electric does not damage the guitar. tightening them too tight does. acoustic strings tend to be thicker than electric strings, so all you have to do is just tune lower to avoid putting too much stress on the neck. i just want to know why they use different materials to make them. ============ Answer No the strings are completely different. It would be much harder to play an electric even if for some reason you did put them on. And you definitely don't want to mix the two! ================ I'd be inclined to think that stringing thicker, shorter acoustic strings on an electric guitar would actually damage the electric guitar. It wasn't built to withstand that kind of string tension. The reverse can be done -- using electric strings on an acoustic guitar -- but you won't get a great deal of tone or attack. Great for a very easy-playing acoustic guitar for songwriting and low-volume playing, though.

No. The guitar was invented 100s of years earlier than the blues. And when the blues began out of rag the major instrument was the piano or the dobro or steel guitar for slide work.
