I was wondering, since I've seen on earlier lessons where you addressed picks... strings? Any thoughts on strings? I have a Pearse 11-52 set on my D-28, which I find to be a nice balance of tone/volume/playability. Is there anything else I *should* be trying?
Hi Frank, in my experience most strings are of a similar quality. I've had the best luck with John Pearse and D'Addario over the years, although I've enjoyed DR and GHS as well. If you're playing bluegrass I would use a heavier gauge though. At least .012 on top. I use a medium gauge set which is .013-.056.
