Hi, I’m a beginner learning guitar. I noticed that after a month or so my guitar doesn’t sound the same but it’s not too bad. And I am hesitant to tune my guitar frequently because I’m afraid that some strings might snap.
Is it fine to not tune guitar until it sounds garbage (unrecognizable)?
You should tune your guitar. Not only is it good to train your ears but your guitar is designed to have strings on it that are in tune. Leaving the strings too loose might cause the neck to bend in undesirable ways. Especially if you’re in an area where the temperature changes each season.
Also, you’re not going to break strings from getting it in tune unless you go several steps above the intended note. Learning what an in tune string sounds like will help you avoid that.
