I have an electric guitar and I am a beginner. What kind of guitar strings should I get?
Answer
All guitars sound different, and all strings sound different, and logically all different strings sound different on all different guitars. In other words Ernie Ball strings sound different on my Les Paul than they do on my friend's ESP.
To find the best strings for you, you have to try a few until you find your favorite. Since you're a beginner I'd suggest you start with Ernie Ball Slinky in 10 gauge. Most ppl find under 9 gauge to be hard not to accidentally bend. Over 11 gauge ppl find hard to intentionally bend. I suggest you find your favorite thickness of string right away because the thickness you learn on is most likely to be the thickness you prefer forever.
It also helps to pick a type of string if you know a little about them. Lighter strings sound lighter but they're easier to play to a certain extent. Heavier strings sound heavier and also louder but they are harder to maneuver on and they hurt your fingers more at first (but you do get used to it all the same). Also look up the different materials strings are made of. Electric guitar strings are usually made of a steel core with nickel winding but also come in many other combinations including alloys. Different materials produce different sounds. Again you have to look around a bit and find your favorite.
