Good work! Thanks for the mention too. Keep jamming!

Nice, made me think of 90’s movies closing credits of a Jean Claude Van Dam action movie.

Hope you enjoy my solo. I’m not a shredder ect . I’m about soul and being aggressive.

Thanks, ya, a little light bulb moment about figuring intervals.

Hope you like this simple but helpful lesson. I can do some more like this if asked 😊

This is in the Style of early 90s Jerry Cantrell

it’s all easy. 3 chords

Hope you like this short lesson on the chords like AC/DC plays

Do I? Hell yeah!

Cool man. Keep going.

Hope you enjoyed this modal blues improvisation

My thing is to tell people I can teach them how to play the guitar to almost any song in less than 20 minutes... And your spot on with that... with this!

Happy new year from Canada and also ❤😊 i hope 2025 you will have a great year

My dad is a huge Eric Clapton fan ❤😊

Hope you like this lesson. I like to make things simple and fun 😊

What an incredible sound, I especially loved the creativity! 🎶✨ You can feel all the emotion in each note, congratulations on the work. By the way, I have a blues channel, when you have some time, stop by to check it out and tell me what you think. It would be an honor to have your opinion! 🎸🙌

35 years plus all gitfiddles strung with D'Addario XL's and NYXL 11'S

Me, personally, I use the lightest gauge possible. I would have quit playing guitar due to finger and hand pain 15 years ago had I not gone to very light gauge strings.

Would 11’s change tension on the truss much? 🎸🤔

Oooooh…..a guitar 🎸 playing south-paw! 👍

I use D'addario jazz lites 52-12, but for rock not jazz. I wrote songs on an acoustic with a nickel wound G. So I wanted my electric to feel like my acoustic.

I played 11's for years and now prefer 9-42, 9.5-44 and 10-46 sounds better! Also went with a floppy medium pick to avoid constant retuning.

I'm with you. I've been using 11s for years. Currently trying 100% nickel from Stringjoy in Nashville. D'Addario also has a nice nickel set of 11s.

You should be bending to pitch with your ear, not by how it feels.

I use .11s for acoustic. I feel like .12s are too heavy.

I use .008’s, Billy Gibbons insists on using his custom made .007’s. I couldn’t even function with .11’s.

None of it matters. Use what works for you!

Don't see how the whole set would last longer. You would have guage overlap compared to other sizes. Think about it. Maybe the E and the e.

I basically learned how to play on 11s. When I got my first guitar which probably had 9s the tension felt floppy even though I couldn't really play much yet...intuitively it felt off. So I naively asked a clerk in the music store if there was such a thing as thicker strings. He suggested a set of 11s and after putting them on it felt right. The string tension felt more solid yet still easy to manipulate. Now over 30 years later I've pretty much always used 11s tuned to standard 440. In the early years it felt really awkward playing a guitar with 9s in a shop but now after several decades I'm not as fussy. But all my guitars are set up with 11s with low action...that is a must for me to be at my most comfortable. There are no right or wrongs regarding string gauge...use whatever enhances your style and sound best. I play Blues and old school Rock n Roll so my thing is more about string bends rather than fast legato runs played very delicately which works best with light strings...I like to hold the notes a bit harder and sustain them with bends and mircobends so 11s really support that approach for me best.

I started with 9's then went to tens then to 11's for a start and then.. I ruined my frets. These days I am mostly using tens again. It does depend on the guitar scale length and the playing style and how you are tuned. In my experience tens on a double humbucker guitar is nice I have an SG now and its pretty good. I also found out my start sounds a lot better with these TV Jones pickups.. not single coils. Yeah I used 11's for long enough. Just do whatever works for you.

I tried 11s for a while but found them too slinky. I like 12's- but I don't bend that much.

I like d’addario EXL115W. 11-48 with a wound 3rd string. Love my wound 3rd..

All depends what kind of tone you’re looking for. What ever works or floats your boat.

I use 11's , I like the feel of thicker strings and actually are easier to bend because there is more meat to hold onto.i find if I go down to say 10s they feel easier at first then over time they feel like 11s without the tone because my fingers get weaker.

Thomastik 11-53

No offense, man. If you think you like them, fine. ...But those are the exact reasons I expected to hear before even clicking on the video....and that's why i'll stick to the 9's & 8's on my guitars. Like Billy Gibbons says to the thick string people who think they sound better...."Why do you want to work so hard?" Also...watch Rick Beato's video on string gauges. He and a few other guys did a test and actually heard more full tone in the smaller gauges.

10's are better than 9's and I believe are far better than 11's. As far as making them last goes, you could buy the stainless steel strings from Dean Markley. They won't rust and you can even clean them with glass spray if you lay a wash cloth over you fret board to protect it. 11's could cause your fingers to much tension over time. Especially being older. 10's are just thick enough to play slide guitar, and thin enough to make easy bends. However, I'd be changing my strings once a month as a practicing guitarist. I'd be changing them weekly as a working musician. I prefer the tone of nickel strings. But the Stainless strings are brighter.

Gibson Sonomatic 340L .011 were the gateway for me. No longer made but I string some guitars with a variation of those.

I went to 11''s because I'm primarily a bass player, so I play really heavy handed. My chords were out of tune, esp. on open position chords. I switched to 11's, problem solved and I like the sound a LOT better too. I use the Rotosounds and I love them!

I like heavier electric strings, so when i switch to acoustic, the bends aren't drastically harder

I went the opposite direction than you. My first 4 years of playing guitar I used 12’s and 13’s. Then I started using 10’s and used them for decades, until the last 2 years I went down to 9’s and I still sound the same.

No question, just comment. Got to see him at Memphis State in the girl's gym in 87. Hardly anyone there and he was just great. Had a white guy on bass that he kept picking on. "We'll see if this white boy can get it done", etc. At one point Albert stopped mid-song and turned to the bass player and saud " turn that d*mn bsss down!" We about died! Great channel.

Eric Idle!

Thank you. I always played 10's then tried 9's and went back to 10's. Now I might try 10.5 and see if I like them. I agree with you about thicker strings sound better even though a lot of people here on RUclips seem to disagree.

There was a quite rude poster last night . He told me in fact Bonamassa did not use 11 He used 09s .because 11s sound terrible on electric guitar and bends sound like cats. I got this from a interview “ Joe Bonamassa typically uses Ernie Ball guitar strings in a gauge of .011-.052. He prefers this gauge for both acoustic and electric guitars. Bonamassa has said that the resistance of the 11s is enough to prevent him from overplaying”

Subscribe for lots of blues like this

could you create a tab for this and maybe the link of the backing track, sounds amazing

a lot of times, not always, less is more..

Very nice!

The older I get the more I realize this .clean and relaxing to play .smooth as butter sounds great
