I get shocked when i touch the string

[sessizmod]

Here's my problem folk.. I've been playing guitar for a long time. Currently, i don't have an amplifier and i use my computer for amplifying my guitar through Guitar Rig 4. But these last days, strings has a remarkable amount of electric.. I'm wondering why does it happen.. Any ideas?

Are you using an interface?

Not sure why you aren't grounding, but that sounds like the issue.

There's ground but it might be bad.
Might be any issue with the guitar?
Or me?
Someone said 'hey maybe u got electric in you go walk in the earth..?'

The only time that happened to me was when I used a pc and there was lightning out.

I sometimes get shocked when I touch guitar strings.

Then I turn the amp down and start again...

Out of curiosity though, how does this work with laptops? I would have thought they'd need to be plugged into a power outlet with ground?
