I promised that I would tell you how to choose the right strings for an electric guitar, and today we will try to figure it out. After all, for a beginning guitarist this will be quite difficult to do due to the lack of necessary knowledge, skills and habits.

There are also some peculiarities in this issue related to which strings to start with: thin or thick, steel or nickel, which manufacturer to give preference to. For professional guitarists, these questions may seem simple. But what should beginners and those who are just starting to learn the electric guitar do? Let's look at this in more detail.

Preface

For those who do not yet know how to choose the right electric guitar, I advise you to read the detailed article. I will say right away that the choice of strings is a purely individual process. After some time, you will no longer need any advice, because you yourself will be able to select the strings, their coating and the gauge (diameter) that will be most comfortable for your fingers to play. Most likely, only through trial and error will you be able to find the strings that work best for you. Therefore, the advice in this article will be useful only at the very beginning of your creative journey.

But if you recently bought yourself a new inexpensive guitar, then it already has some strings. I would advise changing them first. Of course, they can live on your guitar for some time, you can even learn to play them. But know that their quality leaves much to be desired. No one will give you a guarantee that these strings will not break or rust in the near future. Now let’s look at the criteria for choosing strings for an electric guitar.

String manufacturers

The first thing you should pay attention to when you start choosing strings for your electric guitar is the brand (manufacturer). I would advise giving preference to such proven brands as:

- the most expensive, long-playing and my favorite strings, coated with a polymer composition, thanks to which they do not lose their original sound so quickly, and they are also soft and quite pleasant to the touch.

D'Addario– the most popular bourgeois strings that our guitarists love.

– quite durable and very high quality strings. They are in demand mainly among metalheads. Average price.

- quite affordable in price and good in quality, I also advise you to try it, you won’t regret it, because such strings will last much longer than some fake produced by Petya Ivanov’s steel mill No. 3.

— American-made nickel/steel strings at an affordable price. Feedback from guitarists is only positive.

And here’s another thing: don’t really trust the salespeople in the store, who will gladly shove some stale crap at you, especially if they notice that you don’t really understand it. So it’s better to start by sitting at home and “Google” or consult with familiar guitarists. Try to decide in advance on the brand of future strings, read reviews from musicians, and look at the average price in online stores. And most importantly, the issue of choosing strings must be approached purely individually, i.e. Decide in advance what kind of sound you want and how comfortable these strings will be for you.

String coating

This is the second and important criterion when choosing strings for an electric guitar. On the front of the packaging you can find information about the coating material from which they are made. Regardless of the braid, the core of the string is always made of steel, but its winding can be of several types:

Nickel plating– has a soft sound (ideal for solo performance). Strings with such a coating are considered the most popular today, even despite some of their shortcomings (the winding quickly becomes dull, wears out upon contact with the frets, and loses its original sound in a couple of weeks).

Steel coating– has the brightest and sharpest sound, and such strings are made entirely of steel (winding + core). These strings are best suited for metalheads and those who want to achieve a harder, punchier sound. Not as popular as nickel ones.

Sometimes, to protect strings from corrosion, manufacturers apply a special polymer composition to the winding, which ultimately significantly extends their life, but, as a rule, the price will also be appropriate.

String gauge

Caliber is the thickness of the string, usually expressed in fractions of an inch. As a rule, sets usually indicate the thickness of the 1st and 6th strings, for example: 9 - 42 or 10 - 46. In the jargon of musicians, this sounds like “nine” or “ten”. Depending on what style of playing and style of music you prefer, when choosing strings, it is necessary to strive for some kind of compromise between the richness and volume of the sound, as well as the speed and ease of play. In practice, it turns out that thick strings have a richer and more powerful sound, but thin strings are easiest to play, but you have to sacrifice the sound. Here the choice is yours. In general, in my opinion, the most optimal set in terms of thickness and sound is the “ten”.

0,008 – these strings are the softest and thinnest, best suited for beginner guitarists. Their sound is not as powerful and dense as thicker sets and therefore they are not very popular with experienced guitarists. I wouldn’t recommend staying on the “eight” for a long time, because in the future it will be quite difficult to switch to thick strings, so you need to try to gradually develop your skills and switch to a set of 0.010 or 0.011.

0,009 – “nine”, also belongs to the category of soft and thin strings. It’s a little more difficult to play on them, but the sound will be denser compared to the “eight”.

0,010 – strings of medium thickness. The most popular and widespread among musicians. They combine the best qualities of thin and thick strings: medium hardness and a fairly dense sound.

0,011; 0,012; 0,013 – strings of this gauge are considered thick and quite difficult to play. But they have a spacious and powerful sound. Such sets are also used for low standing in heavy styles of rock music.

There are also hybrid sets, where the first three tenor strings are standard thickness, and the 4th, 5th and 6th bass strings can be thicker than the standard. For example, Zakk Wylde plays his signature 10-60 caliber set. Hybrids are created so that the riff sounds most powerful on the bass strings, and when playing solo there are no difficulties with bending.

Another interesting point. In various sets, the third string can be with or without a winding. The third string without winding is most often used by musicians performing rock music, because it is easier to perform solos and bends (braces) on such a string, but for others musical styles, for example, jazz, the entwined 3rd string is best suited. Although you shouldn't take this as a rule, experiment!

Types of windings

Twisted strings are divided into several types, depending on the winding and material:

Round winding Flat winding
Semicircular winding Hexagonal winding

Round winding

Strings with this type of winding are considered the easiest to manufacture and the cheapest. They have a round core inside, around which a round wire is wound. The disadvantages include the following:

• The presence of a relief profile that causes a “whistle” as the fingers slide along the string.
• A rough surface that wears out the frets and fingerboard much faster.
• A winding that is not secured to the core and can rotate around it after damage.

Flat winding

Flat wound strings also have a round core inside, but wound wire has a smoother square profile with rounded corners. This profile reduces whistling, makes the strings more comfortable to play, and reduces wear on the frets and fingerboard. The sound of these strings is less bright than round wound strings. They are more expensive in price.

Semicircular winding

Nothing more than a hybrid of the two previous windings. These strings have the sound characteristics of round wound along with the feel of flat wound. At first they are made the same as with round winding, but then the outer side of the wire is polished and pressed until it is almost flat.

Hexagonal winding

The core profile is a hexagon with tightly wound round wire that follows the shape of the core. Thanks to this design, the problem of torsion of the winding around the core is solved and the sound is significantly improved due to its close connection with the winding. The disadvantage is that sharp ribs wear out the nuts and fingerboard much faster than round wound strings, and such strings are also less comfortable to play.

• Do not throw away old strings, because... They will still be useful to you if some string breaks and the store is far away.
• Before purchasing, explain to the seller that you need strings specifically for an electric guitar, and not for some other one, so that they don’t sell you the wrong thing.
• To somehow extend the life of the strings, try to wash your hands before playing so that they are free of dirt and grease, and after playing, wipe the strings with a special liquid or a dry cloth from above and below.
• Try to change your strings at least every six months, because even the best ones don't last that long. During this time, their characteristics change: inhomogeneity appears in thickness, the sound loses richness, or microcracks may appear.
• If one string suddenly breaks, you can purchase it separately without having to buy a whole set. In this case, try to choose a similar string.

To determine if your guitar needs string replacement, you should pay attention to the following::

• dull guitar sound;
• the guitar doesn't stay in tune well;
• the strings are corroded or appear dirty;
• intonation is broken (the same note should sound clearly in different places on the fingerboard);
• the winding shows signs of wear;
• a lot of time has passed since the last replacement;
• strings too soft/hard.

In conclusion, I would like to wish you good luck, friends! Now you know how to choose strings for an electric guitar and you can safely go shopping. I tried to collect as much information as possible in this article, so share it with your friends on social networks lower on the page. I will be glad to see your comments and additions. All the best!

Any guitarist sooner or later has to change the strings on his instrument, either due to wear and deterioration in sound, or in order to get a slightly different sound from the instrument. The acoustic guitar is a wonderful instrument that sounds great in concert hall, and in a cramped apartment, and in the courtyard among multi-story buildings, and, of course, in nature around the fire.

It is no longer possible to change the acoustic properties, which depend on the type of wood, the composition of the varnish, and the quality of manufacturing of the parts. But it is possible to achieve the desired timbre and sonority by replacing strings.

Nylon or metal?

If we consider what types of guitar strings there are, we can divide them into two groups that have their own varieties: nylon and metal. Each has its own characteristics, advantages and some disadvantages.

If we talk briefly about the main properties, then nylon ones are softer and their sound is duller. Metallic ones are characterized by brighter, ringing sound, but they are tougher - it is from them that guitarists develop rough calluses on the fingertips of their left hands.

Soft and quiet

As already stated, nylon strings softer. They are essentially nylon fishing line, at least that's what the first three look like. Only the thickness of the line from the first to the third increases accordingly. Thick basses consist of a bundle of nylon threads that are wound with copper (most often), silver or brass.

There is also such a thing as the degree of tension. For beginners, it is usually advised to choose a normal tension - it is very difficult and painful to press High Tension nylon lines to the frets. Although they are easier to play, there are some nuances of sound extraction, known to masters, will remain unavailable.

Experts believe that if the guitar was purchased with nylon strings, then when replacing it it is better to choose the same ones. The same goes for metal ones. Nylon is usually placed on the classic spanish guitar, and for an acoustic sound a loud, rich metallic sound is more suitable. However, there are exceptions and special opinions among guitarists on this matter.

By the way, it happens that nylon strings are more difficult to secure to the pegs (very slippery), more difficult to tune (it is difficult to “catch” the desired pitch). Professionals advise that after re-stringing and tuning, let the instrument sit for a day so that the nylon stretches, and then finally tune the guitar.

Loud and loud

This is exactly what is perfect for acoustic guitar. Rich chord sounds, ringing tremolo, bright strumming - only metal is capable of all this. No matter what metal strings are strung on an acoustic guitar, they will still sound louder than synthetic ones.

There are several varieties of them:

Based on monolithic (piano steel) with round winding. The first two strings are wire made of high-strength special steel, the third can look different: either like the first two, or have a thin metal winding. The sound with it is more velvety and pleasant, however, due to its thinness, the braid breaks very quickly. And in this case, replacement is already necessary.

There is one note: if one string fails, then it is better to change everything at once: the sound of the new one will still be out of tune with the overall timbre. It’s better not to skimp and choose the entire tool kit for a replacement.

With steel base and flat winding. IN in this case The difference from the previous type is only in the winding: it is flat on the outside.

Steel core with synthetic shell. The sheath can be a thin Teflon winding, or steel wire is encased in plastic. This protection increases their service life: they do not get dirty from contact with your fingers, and do not wear out, even if the frets on the guitar are not well polished. However, the special iridescent sound characteristic of a metal core with a round winding will not work here.

More about the winding

In general, the sound of the bass and the ease of moving your fingers along it depend largely on the winding and, first of all, what its shape is. As already mentioned, the metal winding can be round in diameter. In this case, you can get a very ringing, rich, shimmering sound. But the sliding of fingers on such an uneven surface is accompanied by a characteristic squeak, or, as they also say, a whistle, and this extraneous noise is sometimes perfectly audible to the audience.

Flat or semicircular winding is good because it gives an ideal smooth surface. The fingers of the left hand glide along it easily and almost silently, without encountering obstacles. And for beginners, pressing on such a surface is not so painful. However, the sound, although sonorous, loses that special iridescence that was mentioned above. On the bass it has a "matte coloration" compared to the richer sound of the thin first strings.

The material from which the outer braid of the bass is made is, as a rule, copper, less often brass, silver or other alloys. Copper is naturally cheaper, silver is more beautiful. But you shouldn’t put this expensive miracle on a cheap guitar with poorly polished frets. You won’t achieve any particularly beautiful sound here; the silver shell will quickly break, and you’ll just have to change the entire set.

Diameter and tension

The boxes with the kits always contain numbers indicating the diameter and tension. At least, reputable companies that produce quality products (such as D’Addario, La bella) must write this information on the packaging. The thickness of the first string can be from 0.08 to 0.15 mm, often this figure is indicated in inches. Thick, low-tension basses may rattle when played against the frets. To avoid this, lower the bar.

As a rule, guitarists, experimenting with various parameters and brands of manufacturers, choose the most successful option (or options) that satisfies them in terms of sound and ease of sound production. Knowing the basics and patterns, you can personal experience choose the best strings.

We hope this article helped you choose good strings for your guitar.

Wondering " which better strings for guitar“Many beginning musicians miss some important things, which we will talk about today. In general, choosing guitar strings is a rather important process, because the sound of your electric guitar (or acoustic guitar) consists of several, roughly speaking, parts - wood; tool configurations or, in other words, shapes; electronics and of course strings. Strings make up about 25 percent of your sound, and if you choose this very important element incorrectly, then other components will not be able to manifest themselves properly, which is why it is so important to approach this issue correctly

Choosing strings by brand

One ideal choice would be to purchase a set of strings depending on the brand. For example, if you have a guitar, then the strings from this manufacturer will sound great; for many companies that produce guitars, this is good additional income, which they do not want to lose at all, therefore, this product will have at least the same quality as the instrument itself (example: Gibson strings). In addition to such large brands as, there are companies that specialize exclusively in the production of strings, this includes Elixir(read the article about this manufacturer), Dunlop, YesDario and others.

A huge number of positive reviews from string Elixir, however, for the last few years I have personally been using the brand YesDario and have never regretted it yet. All of these companies typically have their own proprietary coverage ( Elixir – Nanoveb), which has served faithfully for a long time. The prices of these brands vary by somewhere around 20 percent. If you are still a student and don’t have much money, you can go to the Aliexpress website and order several sets there YesDario, V last time one cost two dollars, which is much cheaper than in the store, but you will have to wait a little (up to a month). Moreover, they say that all the products of this brand are fake, but of quite high quality; in general, it’s up to you to decide.

Resonant substance

I would like to write metal, however, acoustic guitars are often used nylon strings, which give a rather soft sound (ideal for classical music). Therefore, if you have an acoustic guitar and are preparing to enter the Gnessin College of Music, then you will be fine good choice exactly nylon. If you play other music, from blues to grindcore strip metal (no matter what guitar), then you will have to choose between steel strings and nickel(all this is conditional, in addition to steel and nickel there may be up to 20 other metals). Steel gives a characteristic sound, however, like nickel, in defense of steel it can be said that such strings last a little longer. For comparison, take Dunlop nickel and metal, buy whichever you like best, replace this brand with any other. It is worth adding that strings for electric guitars and bass are made with the addition of ferromagnetic alloy, which creates a magnetic vibration that is picked up by the pickup so the acoustic strings won't get on your dual-humbucker monster

Thickness

Everyone knows that distance measurements are measured in mm, with strings... that's not true at all, they are measured in inches. On sets they usually write 9-42 or 10 -46 or 8 -40, this means that the first string from the 9-42 set is 0.009 inches, and the last (we have six strings) sixth is 0.042 inches.

In general, thickness is also a very important string parameter, regardless of which it will be quite problematic for you to communicate with your guitar. Example - you play jazz and buy GHS signature strings by Zach Wylde where the last string is 56, in general, you tighten them and if the wood on the guitar is crap, then you get either a bent neck or, if everything is really bad, then a cracked neck. Depending on the music, on the configuration of the guitar, you can choose the thickness of the strings, basically, most people use 9-42, 10-46, these two sets are suitable for 90 percent of all styles of music. The Fender eight lasted exactly three days, then the 6th string broke, then the 4th, and then I bought another set

Options for perverts

Some strings have a phosphor coating, which allows them to glow in the dark, sometimes even spectacularly. Let's add that there are sets with different colors, for example, each string has its own color, but without phosphor

When to change strings

If you see traces of corrosion on the coating, this is the first sign that it is time to replace it. You can hear from the sound the fact that the strings no longer ring...at all, and the sound has begun to change, which also means that the replacement process is very close.

How to change strings

As a bonus, you can tell us one way that will quickly and without complications allow you to change a new set. There is a rule according to which there should not be more than five turns on the tuning axis; in general, for bass strings this is a completely followed rule (more fraught with poor tuning and lack of aesthetics), for the first three it is quite possible to make 7 or even 10 turns. By tensioning the string depending on the headstock, you can press the string to the quill, thereby, without reinventing the wheel, give a tension that will not allow unnecessary turns to form on the tuning axis, this is very convenient if you have a Fender Stratocaster quill, for Les Paul you just take the strings and lift them above the bar and pull it.

Strings are a fundamentally important element for playing many musical instruments, including guitars. In fact, they are the ones who determine the quality and richness of the sound. But for some reason sometimes even when choosing good tool, the quality of the strings is the last thing people pay attention to. Getting the perfect sound on an acoustic guitar is a combination of great equipment, talent, technique and practice. But without good strings and their correct tuning, it is unlikely that you will be able to achieve a good sound.

Beginning musicians most often buy strings that are recommended by the seller, choose according to an inexpensive price category, or are guided by the colored packaging of the strings, thinking that the brighter it is, the better the quality of the strings.

But guitar strings- this is an element of a musician’s equipment that, if selected correctly, can turn out to be the golden mean in finding and creating one’s own sound.

Become a certain “trick” of a specific performer. There are some fundamental factors to consider when choosing strings. Each of them is equally important.
Therefore, what should you pay attention to when buying strings for an acoustic guitar?

You will need:

String choice: nylon or steel

When buying strings, pay attention to what kind of guitar you have. Because there are two types of guitars - acoustic and classical. Out of ignorance, many people generalize them and believe that they are all the same guitar, but this is not the case. There are special nylon strings for classical guitars, and the neck mount is different from acoustic guitars, so installing steel strings on classical guitar will damage the neck, lead it and, with intense playing, may even crack at the base.

Therefore, there is a clear rule: for acoustics - steel, for classical - nylon.

Select the thickness (caliber) of the strings

Each musician selects the thickness of the strings to suit his playing style. String thickness is measured in inches. The diameter of the first string, which ranges from 0.008 to 0.013 inches in different sets, determines the subsequent thickness of the entire set. Most professional musicians play and advise starting to learn by installing a set of strings with a diameter of the first string of 0.009 (from nine).

The higher the gauge of the strings, the louder, richer and longer they will sound.

Thick strings have a variety of overtones, they are less bright, but they are much more difficult to play, especially for beginners, since a lot of effort is required to press the strings, and when playing for a long time, this is a big strain on the hands.

Select string winding material

The thicker the string, the thicker the winding on it. Winding is a layer of wire that is wound along the entire length of the string. Depending on the hardness of the material from which the winding is made, the strings will have different stiffness. This affects not only the finger feel, but also the sound of the guitar.

There are several types of winding:

• Copper

Quite a common winding. Often used on acoustic amateur guitars. It is not very expensive, so under good loads it quickly breaks and tears.

• Silver plated

These strings are more practical for concert performances due to their aesthetic qualities. They do not fade over time, do not rust, do not accumulate dirt and dust, and as a result do not leave dark fingerprints on your hands while playing. But the sound qualities of such strings are not much different from copper ones.

• Brass or phosphor bronze

This counts best strings, many performers prefer them. Because they have a more colorful and lively sound. Several times more durable than with copper winding.

Select winding type

There are two types of winding on strings: round and flat. 80% of guitar strings installed are round wound. It is very common and popular, since flat is considered more studio-specific and narrowly focused for specific styles and techniques of the guitarist.

Round wound strings have a ringing and colorful sound.

But still, after some time after their installation, it gradually decreases, the strings lose their properties, and sound more natural and monotonous.

Flatwound gives the strings a more stable and slightly muted sound. The sound is unusual with a characteristic matte sound. A good quality of a flat winding is the absence of whistling when the fingers slide.

Strings are the main working element of a guitar, determining the comfort and quality of playing. Each musician has his own preferences on this matter, developed based on many years of experience. It’s more difficult for beginners - they only have to start searching, which may not always end successfully. How to reduce the error rate? What should you pay attention to?

How to choose strings for an acoustic guitar

Strings give a guitar its personality. The peculiarity of the game is influenced by their thickness - it contributes to the appearance of volume in the sound. According to this criterion, all strings are divided into three groups:

1. Thin. They do not require excessive pressure while playing, but they sound quiet.
2. Average. They represent the optimal balance between clamping force and pleasant sound.
3. Thick. Designed for experienced guitarists with trained left-hand fingers. They demonstrate rich and juicy sound.

Beginners are usually advised to use medium thickness strings. Sets 0.10-0.48 and 0.11-0.52 are considered the best in terms of sound transmission.

The second criterion when choosing strings for acoustics is the type of winding. It is characteristic of the fourth, fifth, sixth and sometimes third string. The winding is:

• flat – characterized by a matte, slightly muffled sound;
• round - has a bright and sonorous sound.

The third string can be either without winding or with it (in thicker sets). IN the latter case the sound becomes more beautiful and rich, but due to the thinness of the winding, it regularly has to be changed along with the rest of the set of strings.

Unwound strings are more durable, but exhibit fewer overtones, causing the sound to be perceived as lacking harmony. It should be remembered that the more often the winding, the more dull and “bass” the sound turns out.

Much depends on the material used. Typically there are the following options:

Material	Advantages	Flaws
Yellow bronze	sound brightness "clanging" effect good percussion loud and beautiful sound	demanding storage (it is necessary to keep the strings dry and always in a case) prone to oxidation, which may cause the winding to turn slightly green
Phosphor bronze	smooth and deep sound clean bass good wear resistance elasticity, which prolongs the sound of frets	no "clanging" high cost
Brass	sound brightness durability	shorter pedal than bronze high cost
Copper	comparatively cheap purity of sound deep matte sound	lack of individuality characteristic of bronze strings all brands have approximately the same sound softness, which is why the use of copper is only relevant for thick bass or synthetic strings
Silver	beautiful appearance clear and subtle sound sonority aversion to getting fingers dirty	the need for proper storage (in a dark place), otherwise the strings may fade softness, which negatively affects the durability of the product

Choosing strings is a purely individual matter. You need to try and compare. It is recommended to study the “habits” of your favorite musicians and play with the same strings that they use.

Many beginners decide to go with copper. This material, due to its good performance qualities and low cost, enjoys continued popularity.

You should be careful when purchasing strings with silver winding. Most often, these are just copper wires coated with a very thin layer of silver, which quickly wears off (especially if the product is made in Korea or China). It is believed that such winding mainly affects aesthetics and not sound quality. Although some musicians are confident in the indispensability of silver when performing fingerpicking. If possible, it is better to try such strings yourself and draw your own conclusions.

The choice of strings is influenced by the type of acoustic guitar - classical or pop. Classic models are mainly used when teaching the game. The following strings are used for such instruments:

String type	Peculiarities
Nylon	softness ease of clamping
Carbon	high cost higher density than nylon, which reduces string thickness softness increased brightness and sonority of the sound of the first three strings that do not have a winding
Steel	high cost softness aversion to stretching quick response to turning the peg, which makes it easy to change standing height winding all strings
Synthalic	high cost softness sound brightness quick setup durability the ability to do “braces” saving settings for several months

Pop instruments require working with the following strings:

1. On a monolithic steel base with copper or bronze winding.
2. With semicircular or flat winding. A subtype of the previous option. They do not emit the characteristic “whistle” when sliding fingers; they are matte on bass strings and sonorous on windless ones.
3. Steel, covered with a layer of thin synthetic material.

A pop guitar assumes that the user already has some experience in playing, so the strings used are harder and stiffer, which has a positive effect on the brightness of the sound.

How to choose strings for an electric guitar

All electric guitar strings are based on a steel core. It may have a winding made of the following materials:

Nickel-plated strings are most popular; steel models are much less common.

There are several types of winding:

1. Round. The simplest and most inexpensive option, which has pronounced disadvantages in the form of:
   • lack of attachment to the core, which causes “looseness” of the winding in case of string damage;
   • a relief profile that provokes the appearance of a “whistle” when the fingers slide;
   • roughness, which accelerates the wear of the fingerboard and frets.
2. Flat. An improved type of winding that does not exhibit “whistle” and provides less wear on the pickguard and frets. The strings are comfortable to play, but they do not have as bright a sound as models with round winding.
3. Semicircular. Combines the bright sound of round strings with the tactile feel of flat strings.
4. Hexagonal. Due to the close contact of the core with the winding, it is achieved best quality sound. True, at the same time the wear of the lining and thresholds accelerates (the process occurs in less time than in the case of a round winding). Also, hexagonal strings are not very comfortable.

You need to select a winding based on your own ideas about what the sound should be, as well as the budget allocated for the purchase. Any option can be a good choice in a particular case.

The best gauge for electric guitar strings is “ten” (0.010). It is this thickness that allows you to combine a sufficient level of rigidity with sound density. “Eights” (0.008) are only suitable during the learning period; you should not linger on them for a long time: the strings are very soft and thin, which affects the sound. Strings from 0.011 and above are considered complex due to their thickness, but they demonstrate a voluminous and powerful sound.

Recognizing your instrument is the main task of a musician. Therefore, the selection of strings should have an experimental touch. “Like” the guitar? Did it sound? Only through trial and error can you find “those” strings that will help you achieve your own sound and develop it.
