English term or phrase: table scraps
Um trocadilho sobre não confundir a guitarra com animais de estimação, aparece este termo.

"And, as you practice on your guitar more and more, you're likely to find that it's not unlike a favorite pet. You become very attached to it, but you also have to take care of it and baby it. Okay, you probably won't find yourself dropping it table scraps".

Alguma sugestão??

migalhas


Explanation:
Neste contexto, eu optaria por traduzir por migalhas e não literalmente por restos.

Você não iria querer derrubá-lo da mesma forma como faria com as migalhas espalhadas pela mesa.

alimentos para cães/gatos feitos de couro.


Explanation:
sug.

- No texto o "aprendiz" de tocador de guitarra não deve tocar as cordas do mesmo modo que ele deixa cair um "osso" para o seu animal de estimação.

"table scrapes" são alimentos (alguns em forma de osso ou palitos) feitos de couro/pele.

scrap: esfregar com ruído, fazer ranger, etc.

disagree  Marlene Curtis: table scraps are food leftovers dropped from the table to pets

  -> Concordo ser este mesmo o significado. Entretanto, os "alimentos" feitos com couro, em formo de osso ou palito são tb chamados de table craps. Ver www.buzzle.com/editorials/www.industryweek.com/ReadArticle
