Restring every two or three months should be enough for casual players. You don’t need a fresh set of strings for every jam session, and if you’re primarily practicing at home, you can survive with just a few strings. If you want to get more serious about your playing, though, there are a couple of things you need to consider.
First of all, it’s a good idea to practice with a metronome. This will help you get a feel for the speed of the strings, which will in turn give you a better idea of how fast you’ll be able to play.
It’s also important to keep in mind that the faster you play, the more likely you are to break a string. If you have a lot of practice time on your hands, this shouldn’t be a problem, but if not, keep an eye out for broken strings and try to fix them as soon as possible.
