[nabs-l] Tuner ap, in order to tune my guitar, that is Accessible with voiceover

Fri Nov 8 20:07:25 UTC 2013

That's an issue I also have with my guitar.
I need a new High E string, because that one always breaks on me!
Thanks, Joshua

Caiti.  I'm sure you wipe down your strings after you play.  I do
that, and that also helps your strings to last longer.  I've heard of
elixer strings.  I'll have to go to guitar center and get some.  I can
take my guitar strings off, but I don't know how to put them on.
