Elixirs maybe? They suppose to last longer then ordinary strings...

izzit .008 --> .038 ?

I'm guessing from your specs, you're playing electric guitar?

Elixer doesn't have strings for electric if i'm not mistaken. They are one of the best for acoustic though.

Erm, ernie ball for electric?

Now am using ernie ball 0009 but i think i wanna change to new string,

izzit D'Addario better?

Elixirs do have strings for electric guitar..in fact they even have it for Bass guitars....but they are more expensive compared to ernie balls

Errr,there's no best guitar strings, all preference.From what I see you shouldn't use thin string gauge, .8 strings are freakin thin and if you go all Herman Ri with it, it's gonna break. Try light top heavy bottom gauges(dunno what's the size la), the bass strings are thicker so you get beefier tone.

best guitar strings. best giler! USD$3 a pack!

from what i've know and experienced myself, d'addario is better on tremolo bridges. i agree that you'll need at least a .09 for the styles you described. .08 is just too thin, i can be use, but the string life will be short.

oooooo ok2, noted that

any idea where to buy those air guitar string? hehhee

that was meant to be a joke

adui, air guitar strings also dunno meh? u very cutelar fren.

anyway, u can try using GHS boomers. the string not badlar. but if u 1 2 shred faster than a train, i think u should go for 9.42 or 9.46. but i see SRV string thick kau kau also can play fast wor. SRV normally use 10's or 11's depending on his fingers

sorry to hijack ur thread mate..anyone tried the stainless steel series of ernie ball?? really kenot rust wan r?

??
all strings are steel.
i think ur talking about the titanium coated ones.

and all strings no matter what fancy coating is on it eventually rust when the coating wears off, just that the coating prevents the strings from not rusting for much longer.

Hahaha really not notice that joke

sorry newbie here,

but learn lots from u guy

thanks

tumpang thread abit..

coz u never keep properly mar.

rust is coz of humidity and oxygen.

wipe the strings dry and keep it safely in a case for maximum lifespan of the strings.

make it a habit to wipe the strings after you play. better yet, take time to wipe them everyday. use some sort of ointment to prevent rusting. your sweat is really dangerous to your strings.

hey, tumpang thread for a while..

What strings are recommended for a classical guitar beginner? My brother's classical guitar's D string snapped all of a sudden while in the case. I'm not sure what are the current strings the guitar is having

Oh and is changing classical guitar strings a hassle? I noticed they dun haf the ball at the end

changing a classical guitar's strings is much more easier than changing a steel stringed guitar's (to me la..) however it's kinda difficult to show u or describe to u by words.. check out dis video

there are alot more at the related videos section (in case u dun understand)

anyway all the best ya =)
