ha if I ever learned to play light I might learn to play fast! I still use a three finger deathgrip on my pick, learned copping metal riffs in the teenage years.

Re: which gauge strings do you prefer,

9's on 25.5" 10's on all other electrics.  It balances well that way.

14, 18, 22, plain and IIRC 32, 42, 52, wound on 25.5

Great tone, phenomenal resistance \_o_/  ( half step bend can be like a major third ) berry difficult to smoothly but hat's the stage I'm at.

Re: which gauge strings do you prefer,

9-42 Gibson Vintage Reissue on my SG only because that's the gauge that came on it way back in '93 and I stuck with it.

10-46 GHS Boomers on my Tele because the tele came with that gauge and I liked how it played, so whatevs leave it there.

12-54 on acoustic

I have 'em at standard E - typically A443 - the pop stuff I practice with is usually on the bright side. Not a pro and am mostly a drummer. No shredding/nugent/winter/ beyond ... but other than bends, they're as fast as your fingers. I got there out of frustration with lame tone (I like to dig in periodically) and after a decade or so It's become my setup.

Re: which gauge strings do you prefer,

It very much depends on the guitar.  Nothing less than 12-52 on Jazzmaster.  Nothing less than 13-54 on a Jag.  My Tele has 10-52, which I'm very happy with.  Not a fan of light wound strings, plain strings just depend on how you want to play - to bend a lot or not to bend a lot.

Good deals with: woolyh, kaz2550, fruvai, english_bob, daysofspeed, gambit, matchpoint (twice), SilenceSketches.
