How many strings should a guitar have?

*sounding riffs on a 1 string guitar *

Like this or like that? I run into serious difficulties with more than two. And mine have six.

Srsly, 7 is a good number of strings, one for each note.

A lot of jokes could be made about a Cactus Kid. I thought better of it (almost)

@ZattirfVuli - There are twelve notes in an octave, not seven.

@Eldred : You are correct. Seven whole, or natural notes. Five half-notes, which are sharps and flats.

@2-fakevans : Bassists are in high demand. It's a good instrument for you to know.

Um, @#8, an octave definitely only has seven

Or 22 depending who you ask

Yep, it just depends where you live. There's an advantage a guitar has over a piano. A piano is locked to twelve note octaves. A guitar can bend strings or use vibrato to fill the gaps.

too many

there's even

Brushy does just fine with only one.

Chainsaw bunny, you enlighten us. 😄

that guitar has about 18 frets - that's 1.5 octaves. and looks like he only uses 2 hammer on notes and muting for the bass line. takes so little to make us folks happy :-)
