I use gain, compression, generous EQ, a noise gate, delay, reverb and a heapin' helping of volume to cover mine.

When I was in my teens taking guitar lessons, my instructor and I were just tuning our guitars at the beginning of a lesson when a super hot chick walked past the windows.  We were both so mesmerized by this girl we overtightened strings are the same time and the strings snapped.  I still hear that sound when a beautiful woman walks by today, and it still makes me laugh, and I still stink at playing guitar.

If you play like Billy Gibbons, or Joe Bonamassa, you can play loud. If you play like me, then playing loud just lets everyone know you suck.

But actually, I play acoustic guitars about 99% of the time now.

A musically degreed guitar player with whom I work once stated on the subject of making the same mistake more than once in the same song: "The first instance, it's a fuck up....all instances after that are jazz."

In the middle of today's guitar lesson, I stopped and told my instructor that I felt like a retarded kid.

When I was a young teen a gorgeous blond woman worked at my small towns guitar shop, Donna.
I learned the order of the strings names from her name with something that I made up, still default to it today.

LOL.
When I was a kid and broke a string and didn't have a spare, I'd 'improvise'.
Learned about alternate tunings by myself.
