My strings lose intonation and get dirty fast!!!

Anybody that plays on a regular basis knows that even if you buy coated strings (which will cause you a few bucks more)they will eventually become dis-colored,sound flat,lose intonation(wont be able to tune properly),etc...Here are some basic tips that I have found to help extend the life of your strings...

1.Wash you hands every time before you play (this will remove dirt and oils which will corrode your strings faster

2.Try to get into the habit of wiping down your strings every time your done practicing for awhile

3.I use the WD-40 pen,which I believe helps slow down the oxidizing process.There are other products on the market to try,but this is the only one I have looked into so far

*Depending on how much you practice/play,these simple steps should prolong the life of your strings.I can usually get about 3 weeks out of mine.
