I started to learn guitar after Eric gave me a used guitar and introduced me to an online instructional program. Yesterday when practicing "ka chunkas" I found the g string wouldn't stay in tune at all. I decided it was the string tightening mechanism. I looked up "guitar string tuning" on the web and found what these things are called and how to replace them. The site author suggested purchasing a package of 6 and replacing all of them because altogether it would only cost about $50 US. I went to an unusually busy music store today and bought 6 machines for much less than that.
Since I diagnosed the problem yesterday, I was surprised at how urgent I felt the absence of a tuneable g string because it meant I didn't have my guitar time. Funny how attached I have become.
