Then after a while I felt that the strings were too light (weedy volume and the strings just didn't seem to fight back enuff). So on some 11s went, ah nice! After a few more days I'm finding that I want even more 'resistance' so 12s will go back on there tomorrow. And the moral? Mother knows best! ;) | ||

Y'know, the Battle of Altimarlach that was fought on 13th July, 1680 between Sir John Campbell of Glenorchy and George Sinclair of Keiss over the ownership of the Girnigoe Estates. Little bit of Old Country history... | ||

Joined: April 2008 Posts: 2336 Location: Brighty in Blighty | I'm not interested in the manly aspect of this, I am more concerned about tone and the ability to actually play the guitar hopefully without injurying myself in the process, I'm just trying to constantly improve as a musician/composer and find my sound. So experiementing with different gauge strings is all part of that. There does seem to be a weird my strings are heavier than your strings sillyness that I just don't get. Some players use light strings and get fantastic results, that's all I'm after, good tone, good technique, good music, the guitar is merely the tool. I am not too concerned either about acoustic volume as I'm mainly interested in recording and performing with amplification. | ||
