Guitar Strings
What type of acoustic guitar strings should I buy?
I have an ok acoustic guitar but it needs new strings. I like playing music by artists like John Mayer and Jack Johnson. I know their are different types of acoustic strings, but what type of strings would be the best for this type of music? I’m pretty good at guitar.
I know their are light, medium, and heavy gauge, and steel and nylon strings.
Well generally speaking, lighter gauge strings are easier to play because they have less tension when tuned to pitch. On the other hand heavier gauges will have a better tone quality. As a general rule you could say ”the bigger the string the bigger the tone”. If you have a regular acoustic guitar then you don’t want nylon strings. They are meant for classical and folk style guitars. It’s really just a matter of personal preference when it comes to guitar strings. I use D’Addario strings on all of my guitars , 12 – 54 on the acoustics and 10 – 46 on the electrics. I’ve never had a problem with any of their strings.
