I never heard of guitar wire. but I have heard of guitar strings.Just
find someone you know that plays guitar and ask them if they have any
broken strings. Then hook the strings to two tuners and get another
player to hold one guitar and you hold the other guitar. You both can
play a set of Joes last imaginary guitar solo and cut the cheese.
