I got back from school today....played a g chord..and it sounds...umm...dull?...or its just not as bright as it was before. Is this due to the humidifyer? if not...what else could it be?

When did you last change strings?

Chuck Norris invented Kentucky Fried Chicken's famous secret recipe, with eleven herbs and spices. But nobody ever mentions the twelfth ingredient: Fear!

Hi Mikey.

I'm not sure about the Planet Waves model you have, but my humidifier sometimes puts my guitar out of tune. The humidifer hangs from a plastic disc which is slightly larger than the sound hole. It is inserted beneath the strings over the sound hole and puts a slight upward pressure on the strings to keep it in place. If I leave it in place for longer than over-night it can stretch some of the strings out of tune.

It sounds like tuning might be your issue. I have made it a habit to tune my guitar every time I use it just to be sure it is still in tune. You might want to do the same.

That almost sounded musical. Thanks Guitar Noise!
