I always like how you explain things. While there can be "technical jargon", you take the time to translate those terms into common language so that those who are just beginning understand what you are teaching.
~Really enjoy the way you teach us....
Absolutely love D'Addario strings, and this lesson too! Thanks Mike!
Thank you Mike for the detailed explanation on the various different string gauges. It allows me to experiment with the guitar sounds I like to play.
Good Explanation
Great job coverikng a great topioc
Love the NYXLS0942, only 3,400 points a set ❤😊
I use their flat wound 9 and 10 gauge on most of my guitars. I play mostly funk, and jazz, and i like the tone and the lack of scream when i slide. Half rounds are great too. My fenders prefer the 10 flats and my Epiphone SG and LP like the 9 half rounds. I'm not a big fan of string squeal. I find it takes away from the effects i like to hear.
What about Flat Wound strings?
There's a full written lesson linked in the description where flat wounds are talked about - check it out!
