Really appreciate the efforts that went into making this video, very well done! For my own playing, I was using NYXLs, well, because that’s what the guy in the guitar store suggested I should play 😀, but as I dive more into learning about tone, and defining my own preferred tone, I mellowed down to the Pure Nickels, which I really like, but I just bought some Half Rounds thanks to this video. Thank you so much for this awesome and informative video!

@@jakespencer431 I absolutely love them, and they are now on all of my electric guitars (Epiphone Les Paul, Fender Strat and Tele (American Standards for both) I absolutely love them! As they don’t have all that “brightness”, they give a truer/cleaner note and my playing is so much more enjoyable…even when I go from clean to crunch, it’s a truer crunched note, if that makes sense. Record some riffs on a looper pedal (if you have one) and compare the before/after, it’s amazing, and an incredibly enjoyable process!

Well done! I find the flatwound strings from Pyramid and TI (Thomasik-Infield?) sound much brighter than the D'Adarrio chromes, have a set of their 10-46 on my T59v (Eastman ES-335 type), sounds great. For regular roundwound strings I prefer the round core pure nickel wound strings from Pyramid or Stringjoy, which feel better, sound warmer, and last longer, plus they don't wear-down frets as fast. For a less expensive round core string go GHS Boomers like David GIlmour does, his sig sets have gauges that are slightly heavier on the bottom.

The Wound G String intonates alot better than the Plain G & w/ a set of 10s it becomes a Flexible Wound G that you can bend. Flatwound Strings are actually meant for lower Tunings (like Eb Standard or D Standard) because Horn players like to play in Flat Keys, & Tuning down a half step or whole step would help

warry nice comparison in the end. My surgestion to next time is to focus on the bottom 3 strings since they are the only once change betwene the 4 diffarent stringtypes. its only the "wound" strings that is crome, nicel, round or flat, the bottom 3 is just a stainless steel core with no wound and no change. Nice point that the cromes had a smaller volume diffarance.

@@TroglodyteMusic I didn't find any difficulty. However I did go 6 years without picking up a guitar so any difficulty was just getting back into it. Even started taking lessons over Zoom with my old guitar teacher from 15 years ago. Yes the neck is fatter but no way as much as an acoustic. I went with the Streamliner g2420. I got it in Brooklyn Burst without the Bigsby. I took advantage of a sale at the mega guitar store and it was a hundred bucks off MSRP President's Day weekend. Sometimes I wish I got the bigsby model but they didn't have it in a color I'd like at the time. However when I had a bigsby on a tele 12 years ago I used it for about a month and then never again.

How do the half rounds compare to the pure nickels specifically? I couldn't really tell that well because you played something different for every set.
@TroglodyteMusic
@TroglodyteMusic Жыл бұрын
The half rounds are smoother, slightly duller sounding with very little string noise as you move up and down and great for slide also - where as the pure nickels are sharper and brighter. If you like the old 60's sound (which I do) I tend to lean towards the half rounds, when I want a brighter/rocker sound, I have a guitar with pure nickels on.
