Please note the major pulse-beat on the dead strings during ring out. This does indicate that the are not tuned right or can no longer hold correct tune. There is only a steady ring on the new strings.
@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I have a 66 Southern Jumbo and Elixr 80/20 Bronze Nanoweb strings give be the brightness I like on some songs. Their Phosphor Bronze Polyweb strings give me the mellow tone I like on other songs. If I'm playing the bright strings and want mellow, I pick with the flesh of my fingers and if I'm playing the mellow strings and want bright, I use my nails more. I like your "more guitars" method better.
Love new zingy strings. But it seems they to need to be tuned every ten minutes. By the time they stay in tune nicely, say in a month or two, are they now close to the end of their life?
@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I play piano. My Yamaha upright hasn’t had new strings in 35 years. Tunes up beautifully about once every year or two. Not being contradictory, it’s just the way it is with that particular instrument which has about 230 strings (says Google).
@@billdivine9501 I think a lot of "budget friendly" guitars come with cheaply manufactured strings. You could swap them out right away, they will likely go dead very fast anyways

@Andrew-vj7gw absolutley, tough sometimes to explain to people.
Very helpful, thank you!
@@cgandy2 thanks for watching
Im a beginner. This info is helpful as I dont yet know very much.
Glad you found your way to my channel. Thanks for watching.
It helps if you tune it
@@BurninSven1 for sure. Lol
This was really helpful to hear you compare them with the ring out. Thank you for making this video
Thanks for watching.
Some call that mellow. I like to hear them ring. Gimme some twang.
I find room in my heart for both tones....gives me an excuse to get more guitars. Lol

I got 4 year old strings on my 53 year old Yamaha fg75 and it plays and sounds amazing
@@Mytwocentsisallicanafford thats awesome.
and they're the same strings? no phosphor vs bronze
@@thedavesofourlives1 same strings, right from the factory
That is crazy 🤯
No such thing as 2 identical guitars
@Mytwocentsisallicanafford very true. But at least they are from the same company, I feel like it was a pretty fair comparison...
Check to see if they're breathing.
Lol

@CameraLaw depends how much you play. I can wear through a set of strings in a hard night of playing. But Ibhave warm hands.

@CameraLaw oh yeah a piano is another beast altogether.
Sweet vid thanks bro!
Thanks for watching.
You are funny and right
Thanks.
@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I've been playing for 48 years. when I played out I changed strings every night
Do you recommend changing strings on a newly purchased guitar?

The strings are dead when i began to like it how they sound.
Absolutley, sometimes I like a string that has lost that sizzle, especially when recording.
