I’m so glad you included Otis Rush. It seems he is forgotten but man oh man the “Mourning in the morning” album is so good. He was an amazing player and singer. Thank you!
Would also be cool to see one of these on some hard rock/metal players like James Hetfield/Kirk Hammett from Metallica, Daron Malakian from System of a Down, Mick Thompson/Jim Root from Slipknot, Synyster Gates/Zacky Vengeance from Avenged Sevenfold, John Petrucci from Dream Theater, Mark Tremonti from Creed/Alter Bridge, etc.
Nice of you to include Mike Bloomfield, one of my favorites. I did get to see him once with the Super Session group. They let us in for free about 11, and he played till about 2 AM.
A lot of thin gauge users. I tried to love 10-38, but I had lots of tuning problems, and the bass strings are downright floppy. Hendrix allegedly used 10-38, and I believe it. If you listen to live recordings like Monterey, he breaks strings, and is pretty much out of tune the whole show. I get on much better with a heavier, even tension set: 10.5-14-18w-26-36-48 I have to make them up by buying individual strings.
Cool. Info. Thnx 10 13 17 30 42 52. Is the way to go. Note the d a and e are all heavier. This matters drastically most especially when u are using a strat in a 3 piece Scenario It totally makes the strat fat... When recording and u listen back Comparing lighter bass strings to these. Its a no brainer. Besides who really needs to have fast low action on the bass notes. Id rather have tone!!!! Fender heavy picks of course. They call the set light bottom top heavy . I believe. I dont feel compelled to go that route on gibsons but on strats For me Its a must in my opinion. They stay in tune better too. An additional bonus. . Rock on .. !!!
Awesome video. It would be really cool to dive into new blues artists like josh smith, matt schofield, jd simo, dan patalansky etc and see how the new school compares to the old school. I think everyone went up in gauges after srv but you cant deny everyone in this video also had killer tone

Years ago i read an Interwiev with B.B. King in a Guitar Magazin ,he told them he uses 8 -38 Sets of Strings !
I believe you!

Great idea!

amazing you got to see him!
Tory Slusher, the best guitarist in the world, uses 9’s. That’s all you need to know.

I agree the heavy bass is better
10s aren't thin IMO .I heard that BB would play using thinner strings than 10s
Yes he did in fact as you said use thinner at times
Cool.

Great comment
how can you not enclude eric???
I did him the first video about strings
What is the modern fender rock n roll? The Hendrix set?
They’re just called Original 150s last time I bought some.
The older I've gotten I'm a total whimp. I can play acoustic for maybe 1hr, but play electric more often because it's easier on my hands.
That makes sense
Down 1.5 steps and 9-50?? That’s crazy
Super informative and interesting... thank you for the video about the preferred string gauges ☕🎸
Even though SRV string preference suit his style of playing I never liked his tone…. apparently he had big hands I heard
Pay attention to three things, gauge, tuning, and scale length. All three play a role in how easy bending notes will be.
Fret size has an effect too as well as setup
That is true! Thanks for the additional clarification.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Ramon ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks bro

Will look into this thanks.
Yeah, SRV definitely made people reconsider what string gauge they used
you've really got to try strings until you find what suits you, whilst it is interesting what others play....they aren't you
100% agree but sometimes copying our heroes can lead us down interesting paths, thanks Gregg!
@@TheGuitarShow using a wound g string was a good piece of experimentation, sometimes just trying stuff is a good learning experience
Fantastic video thanks a lot. Like 60. 🎸🎸
Thank you
Two '?'s...
