Yeah it probably shakes them clean. Honestly I don’t know totally how it works, but it does!

Okay, I’m always very skeptical of stuff like this. But I figured it was worth a try. So I loosened my low E string, snapped it a couple times and tuned it back up. And it’s noticably brighter. Almost like a new string. How on earth does this work?!?!

I haven’t seen Barney in about ten years and I don’t plan to ruin my streak now. Maybe @Michael_Mark will enjoy the song.
