Default Somethng I learned last night

Actually, I walked into the Dollar Store a while ago and saw somw wire
fishing leaders, about 5 in a pack, and bought them. The braided outside
wire burned off fast but the interior wire holds up well and does a nice job
of burning lines. It was just a thought for someone who does not play guitar
or banjo or for that matter does not know a player. If you get the e and b
string from someone changing strings, it should give a several years supply
of burning wire.


And if you really want to go upscale, get a hack saw and mount the wire
where the blade goes. Gets good tension on it, and easy to manipulate.
Should go w/o saying that one should never wrap the wire around their
fingers!
