  • NSD win

    Posted by bugmeist on January 31, 2023 at 5:58 pm

    After procrastinating for far too long I finally had NSD (new string day). Not only did it go better than I expected but the new strings are really bright and clear. I won’t wait as long again. The win was getting over my anxiety about changing them and maybe screwing something up.

    @bugmeist The first time or two changing strings can be so stressful. I was lucky and had a very patient TACer Zoom with me and walk me through the entire process. To this day, I don’t think I would have ever gotten over my fear without their selflessness. Congrats on going it alone and surviving.

    This time was a lot less stressful. I had all my tools ready and I figured a way to have the guitar in a more easily accessible position. I think I’ll be more inclined to change more often.

    Back when we had Jam Clubs in TAC, we had a January gathering and all changed our strings together. It was instructive for those uncomfortable with the process and a fun evening. After changing strings we had a song circle with a re-tuning between each song. I miss Jam Clubs.

      I wasn’t around for jam club but that sounds awesome. Maybe start a TAC family meetup group and schedule a new one? When did they normally happen? Do you want to start a new thread about Jam Club?

        Hi DiscostewLA – TAC doesn’t sponsor or support the Jam Clubs. They got away from allowing the Jam Clubs to be associated with TAC in order for TAC to focus more on their core purpose of teaching guitar basics and consistent practice. There’s no reason why you can’t search for others near you on the member map area and contact them via private messaging to develop a local JAM Club.

        Thanks! I found some local groups on Meetup that I’m going to see if I can hook up with. Excuse to buy a new travel guitar…hmm time for a GS Mini?
