Yup! I use as light as possible on higher strings for easier bending, and very heavy e string for the gravitas. I have yet to explore a-d-g outside of standard
I don't recommend hard tension, they can be a little bit louder, but playing in higher positions and using bar accords can be hard 😅 you can still put hard tension for basses and the trebles can be just normal tension.
Don’t try the Aquila Sugar strings. They are sticky when you first touch them. The trebles squeak, and they don’t last long. I haven’t tried their Nylgut, but I hear those are good. I have heard good reviews on the Knobloch Actives.
Savarez makes a Classical Guitar string set w/ a Wound G String, the Wound G string is made like the other 3 Bass strings of a Classical Guitar (Nylon wound in Metal). What I do rather cleverly here is I tie Guitar string ball ends onto the ends of the strings so that they have more clearance over the saddle.
I have a takamine c132s made in 1974 and I use the savarez medium also but the full set. It makes that guitar come alive and sound like a much more expensive guitar. All the other string brands make the g sound dull and thuddy.
This is very interesting. The g string that came on my guitar also sounds muddy, almost as if it's on a toy guitar. I might try the Savarez strings. My guitar is a beginner's classical but it gets pretty good reviews (Yamaha CG122MCH).
Testing strings for years. But now i use the Augustine gold. The bass strings are wonderful and a little bit different to ther strings. Orderd 5 sets a few days ago. Maybe i costs many more next week because of inflation....
I use the same pro arte normal/mid tension on all of my vintage 40s 50s and 60s classical's...I bought a few packs of high tension for my higher end modern more sturdy (not snap the bridge off the vintage) that I haven't ran yet... any thoughts on high tension strings???
When scraped a little with a file tool or sandpaper, the E6 string of the Daddario EJ45 comes out in color like a good shiny copper. Which strings have a darker shade of copper when scraped with a file, because I found them on the Yamaha CG-150C guitar I bought and they have a bigger bass sound? What do you recommend for guitars with a cedar top?
I was listening to this while eating lunch and my coworker asks me why I'm looking up g-string reviews LOL
Thank you so much for the tip on the 3rd string, I will do the same
Great strings, I use the same but I like the composite 3rd Daddario string

Wow thank you so much!! I use medium tension but am thinking about trying out hard ones

Why not use Savarez for the all the 3 nylon strings too? Better for cost or other reasons?
Have you ever tried the wound g-string that Savarez makes? They are trippy!

Savarez Aliance set?

Since you like carbon strings, try Knobloch carbons. They are so much richer in sound and volume compared to Alliance.

I’m a huge fan of the G string.
obviously the guitar one....right?..right????
Thank you boss...inquiring minds wanted to know. 😬
Exactly what I use .

I prefer extra hard tension. D'addarios are good for the price.

Sir I always felt that there is something wrong with the g string on my guitar when I changed it to pro arte strings
What is the difference between normal tension to low tension to medium tension??
The tension
weird.
The level of snobbery is insane. This is why musicians get made fun of. It really doesn’t matter that much at all.
Meanwhile I bet you suck at guitar compared to him
