      Jack Stewart Confession: I used to have a tuning fork in my guitar case. I had pitch pipes too.

    You have created a spreadsheet for strings so you can plot individual and overall string tensions.  My analysis shows that one brands ‘high’ is another brands ‘medium’.

      Phill Tadman I confirm! Also some brands name their tensions as colors while other mix trebles tension as name and basses as colors while all those tensions didn't match up! 🤯

    You find yourself standing in the sporting goods aisle of a store, wondering which ping-pong balls are most nail-like.

    Still consult a few of the books. The list is a good reminder that I have them on the shelf.

    You are more obsessed with nail care than any of the women in your life.

    You run home to your nail tools at the first sign of an abrasion or tiny, fixable tear.

    You gave up outdoor cycling and most yard work long ago out of concern for the safety of your hands.

    when you consider buying a practice guitar in each of the other countries your family lives in, and leave it there so you don't need to travel with one when you visit them.
