Is the g-string the most susceptible to breaking on an acoustic six string steel guitar

Signposting:I Counter ArgumentsII Overview of Main ArgumentIII ConclusionIV Voting IssuesI Counter Arguments“my opponent accused me of fallacy. After the g-string breaking incident, I read on string breakage and asked other guitarist and the result was the g-string is usually the first to break and is the most common. ”Again, I am sorry my rhetorical nemesis had a “G-string breaking incident,” but he espouses a fallacious position. He asks us to believe that his string broke (anecdotal evidence, smallest sample size), that what he read on string breaks was that the G-string is the first to go (no source or reasoning provided), and that one other guitarist encountered the identical problem and said that string breaks first (small sample size, argument from false authority, anecdotal evidence). “my experience has led me to the conclusion that the g-string breaks the easiest”This is a fallacious argument from experience. “If you examine data closely it's mostly all other string other than the high-e. From what I recall it the number go like this, four claim the b-string, four claim the g string, two claim the d string, and a surprising two claim the e low. The numbers other than the high-e add up to 12/18, which is about 66%. The remaining six claim the hi-e, which is 33%. ”The most broken string in the poll was the high e-string. My opponent, either being ignorant of statistics or not understanding his own resolution, provides a skewed analysis of the data. The most common string broken is represented by the largest number of guitar players; that string happens to be the high e for all of the reasons I’ve provided throughout this debate. This negates the resolution, I thank my opponent for bringing it up. . http://www.yesfans.com...; />“Secondly, my opponent says there is a sharp edge on my saddle and other malfunctions on my guitar. I do not think there is anything abnormal about my guitar. I was able to tune the replaced g-string up to g#. I even did it on elixir's g-string, which is often criticized for breaking easily. ”Again, please refrain from telling personal tales of banal minutiae that are impertinent to the main substance of the debate. So, if there is no longer a problem of breaking your G-string for strange reasons, then why bring it up to begin with? This entire debate has been from your personal experience, not from evidence, reasoning, or legitimate support. “I have experimented with many acoustic strings brands and not even one of them has a plain g-string. ”Your persona experimentation does not count as legitimate evidence and it does not rule out the fact that many acoustic players use plain G-strings. Folk players have a plain G-string, because the nature of a folk guitar is different that a full dreadnought size guitar: the tension and internal bracing is different. Also, acoustic strings are sold in half-and-half type string sets with the E-A-D wound and the G-D-e unwound (plain). “The d string is slightly under more tension than the g-string; however, it is thicker”The G-string is thicker than e-string. The resolution is negated. “my opponent believes the high e string is the only string that can be bought. It is possible to buy other strings separately too. At my local Guitar Center, for example, you can buy Ernie ball strings separately. ”I never said that first sentence, only that high e-strings are bought in a higher quantity to satisfy the demand of customers. This is, of course, followed by anecdotal/personal experience fallacy. “the g-string tensile strength is stronger than the b and high-e strings”That is true, which makes it more resistant to external stress factors. II Overview of Main ArgumentC1: The high e-string is the most susceptible to breaking. -The high e-string is the thinnest, making it more susceptible to the external stress factors: sweat, finger acids, atmospheric conditions, abrasion, and stress. -The high e-string has the weakest tensile strength (the Newtonian physics term for the “breaking point”). C2: The G-string is more durable than the e and b strings. -The G-string is thicker than the e and b strings, making it more resistant to the external stress factors. -The winding process of the wound G-string increases its structural integrity via the fusion process in manufacturing. It’s tensile strength is greater than the e-string. -Plain G-strings have even more structural integrity than the wound. -Of the three top strings, the G-string has the lowest ratio of initial tension to tensile strength; therefore, it requires the most exerted force to break it. C3: The most common string broken is the high e-string. -The most frequently broken string is the high e-string according to online guitar forums. -Polls demonstrate that the e-string is the most commonly broken. -I have quoted two guitar experts who agree with those averages. III ConclusionThe high e-string is more affected by external stress factors. This means it receives more stress relative to its diameter. Being compounded by the highest impact of acoustic strumming, the lowest tensile strength, and the lowest exerted force needed to break while bending, the high e stands as the most susceptible string to breaking on an acoustic steel string guitar. IV Voting Issues1. I have demonstrated with polls and guitar communities that the most common string to break, on average, is the high e-string.2. I have shown with Newtonian physics that the G-string has a higher tensile strength; therefore, less susceptible to breaking.3. I have demonstrated through examples, science, and reasoning that the thinner a string is, the more it is affected by external stress factors.4. My opponent has used only personal experience, anecdotal evidence, and the opinion of one other man as his source of argument.5. My opponent has dropped many of my arguments and points. 6. My opponent has provided sources without context, some of which are broken links.7. My opponent has not held his burden of proof with the resolution on an overall average or empirical level.8. The arguments I have provided prioritize and crystallize the most important aspects of the debate into a cohesive mass from which the debate is objectively ruled in my favor. Thank you for judging and debating. :D
