The 6 strings
Hi all, hope i have put this thread in the right place - I'm still getting to grips with the site and my pc is being really slow. Anyway -
What names do you have for the 6 strings in order to remember them? I have to keep looking back in the book to see what each string is called. Would make it much easier if i have a rhyme for them. Thanx

I always liked this one and it's quite easy to remember.
ELEPHANTS ( thickest string)
AND
DONKEYS
GROW
BIG
EARS ( thinnest string)

Thanks Skip, Can't take the credit for it though I got it out of an old guitar book I used to have, the book wasn't much good but I memorised this and it's always stuck there.
