Daddy Judy

We need a collab, my dude Well, I need I'm selfish I'll stfu, mokay, yes

try Coban Guitars MCG4 strings. theyre £4 a pack and last forever. theyre nickle strings and never rust on me. i usually go through a pack of slinkies in a week and the MCG4's literally last untill one breaks which is a while. a good couple months.

im not affiliated with them. but ive struggled to find strings that dont rust.

You'll just get better string endorsements by shutting out the ones you don't like

KDH, I love this accessories/parts series you're doing with picks and strings etc. Can I request a comparison/explanation video from you? I'd like to know about slides - glass, ceramic, steel, open back etc. I want to jump in to this world, but it's a bit daunting. Appreciate if you'd consider this when you have time. Cheers!

You can just sneakily make a new video and replace this one once you get the endorsement ;=)

try cleartone. super nice coated strings.

@@Alphonselle I have a similar situation as our guy Douglas cleartone strings aren't sold in my country (not Australia) so elixir is my best option

I live in the most humid place in my country so i agree but Elixir is so expensive!! And XTs truly last so long (timewise) and they don't get ugly like elixirs. I recommend those

I hear this out loud my man

I live in a place that's pretty humid at least for half of the year, and I do sweat profusely especially when I play. I can confirm that Elixir is so far the only strings that can last for any reasonable time span. Despite the price it works out as a money saving.

The optis are my go to

I agree with elixirs. I use them exclusively with my acoustics and bass (if I can get them). I WOULD use them one electric if they had expanded sizes because I use REALLY thick strings (unreasonably so) for electric

They're quite pricey, but they are very decent - you certainly get what you pay for.

@@shanerichardson7128 To be outside of Elixir's string gauge for electric, you'll have to be using .080 or above on the lowest string. What string gauge are you actually using?

@@MrGul You are right, technically I CAN get the sizes if I: Get a custom set, mix and match packs or buy individual strings but that gets either extremely pricey for no reason or there’s left over strings in a gauge I’ll never use. So I guess what I SHOULD have said was that it’s very impractical for me to get the string gauge I like with elixir

I love Paradigms cause they last alot

Same here. Used Daddarios for the longest time, and tried some Ernie Ball strings on a whim. WOW. They are so much better, they’e springy, lively, and very pleasant to the touch. Also, note that I’m talking about bass strings since that’s what I play.

I was actually different. everyone around me uses ernie ball and I saw it almost as a status symbol to use. I switched to daddario to give it a shot and I love em

I started on Ernie balls and tried out a pair of D’addarios and my god they sound awful. So tinny and Ernie balls just feel so much better

i've used a lot of strings, the best value is ernie ball. you *can* get a better string but for the money slinkys are so good there is no reason not to use them

Same

I concur

Same here. I use 2mm flow jumbo.

@@dinkins335 and the grip too! I like that I can play technical alternate picking runs but then I can still play funky strumming 16th no problem and sounds great on acoustic as well. I use the .73mm for the stated reasons.

@@JoePariseauMusic they're just all around fantastic. They also sound awesome. I realized that they add something to the tone that you just don't get from other pics. As soon as I tried them I knew I finally found my style of pic.

Oh hai David.

I honestly would rank Optiwebs as my least favourite Elixirs tbh just something about them never jelled with them. I'm a Nanoweb guy and I'll take Polyweb as well.

What's the difference between Optiweb and Nanoweb? I like how Nanoweb feels under fingers but I have yet to try Optiweb

@@Tomislav_B. The optiwebs feel like uncoated strings and one can can say they are made for Metal/Rock players who don't need that bright tone that the Nanowebs have. Idk, I play prog and Metal and still use Nanowebs

@@fede.chachagua I was under impression that Optiweb was brighter than Nanoweb

I bought a new guitar almost 2 years ago and i still literally have the pack of optiwebs I told the cashier to get me with it. Elixirs are S tier for sure, they cost double the average, but it saves a ton of money. I play multiple hours almost daily and they still look like I just got them straight out of the pack. Just maybe not so shiny.

Was thinking of getting a couple sets for my 8 string from String Joy. It was way too expensive to get them into Canada. I saved $20 by getting GHS strings from Strings By Mail. But if cost isn't an issue then I hear they're pretty good!

i 2nd stringjoy! i personally only got into them for custom gauges on weird tunings but honestly love them enough im planning on trying out more from them

My bass idol Cliff Burton used rotosound strings I should try them when I get my first bass soon

what about needing custom strings then?

Saaks kysyy mitä skeboja sulla on? Meikällä on kans helkkaristi keppejä. No reason 😁

lmao fr i tried nyxl's on my ibanez rg and it feels so rough

And they last.

@Jew Adolf Ernie ball strings are the only strings I’ve ever had that the low E and Low B unwound after only being on for 2 days. Happened multiple times on different guitars. They wear out fast. I’ve never had a bad experience with D’addario strings. Many I’m just cursed because everyone else loves them along with some of my favorite artists but since I don’t get them for free I buy what doesn’t take a shit almost right out of the pack.

Got the first 3 high Of the NYXL 10 42 and low 3 paradigm just happened to break that way cuz I'm not used to these Grover locking tuners yet so it broke leg for Strings already just touching the couch with the headstock or bending down messing with Zeke using one up anyways I'm liking the D'Addario the envelope or the High strings I mean. Once I'm able to upgrade these pickups the rest will come off and then I'll have to make a decision of which ones to go with I used to use Dean Markley blue electric steel forever when I was younger than I didn't play for years when I just started using regular do you do a yellow switch or fine got a new guitar and put paradigms on it which I like but our little treble e

@Jew Adolf 95% of the time D’Adarrio, but I like to check out other brands and I even give Ernie Balls a chance again every couple rotations to see it anything has changed. I am a fan of DR strings as well the Dimebag 11 set as well as some of their drop tune 6and 7 string tight-fit sets. For my 8 I use almost only D’Adario regular nyxl sets. The cheap ones not the $14 ones even though I experiment often and have used those too. Clear tone strings are good too as well as GHS. I want to look into a company that offers quality custom sets for my 7 & 8 string guitars because the gauge selection I am stuck with is usually way too thick and way too thin on the hybrid sets. They don’t set up right to me or the lowest string feels out of place in compared to the rest. I like a little slack for that snappy pong sound I love oh so much. It’s tough too because of all the different scale length variations between all my guitars. What style of music do you play brother?

@Jew Adolf how can you subscribe to me I don’t have any videos uploaded. To be honest I don’t know how to make and edit a KZfaq video. I was considering making one one day to start sharing my knowledge and first hand experiences with products I’ve used and some of the gear I’ve got like my Laney vh100r head from the mid 90s that really doesn’t get much love in the series of tubes we call the internet. I’m really not a fan of having my pic taken nor video. Plus who wants to hear my opinions everyone has them so what makes me think I’m in the position to publicly offer my own. I would like to try and help out others if they are having issues that many I’ve experienced with gear that I have or had and help solve some stuff I found out the hard or in most cases the expensive ways. Thinking about maybe joining a few forums to help out and learn too. I’m just not a person who tolerates drama and gossip shit as if I were in high school. I stay out of it but the internet can be rough for that especially with how sensitive people are these days. Anyway, shred on brother 🤘🤘

@Jew Adolf right on brother just made my day and glad I could help in some way. I wish you the best bro and stay safe.... until we meet again ✌️peace brother✌️keep shredding and I wish you and your family safety and happiness during throughout the holidays. 🎅 🎸🎶🎸

i had one set of GHS Boomers and my acid handsweat melted them within a month :/

@@tehalexy One set of strings lasted you a month with practice and maybe Gigs and you consider that a failure , a whole month ? They have never let me down but I don't sweat like some do ?

Ghs boomers! Better than daddario and ernie ball. Used them for 10+ years. Always good, daddarios are dead out of the package like half the time i have setup a guitar with them... Ernie ball is good, but they feel different than ghs.

GHS Boomers are probably the best in the world out of the box, but they die so quickly it's not worth those few weeks of joy, sometimes few days :(

@@ashvirhiralal if you play alot, you should change strings every week.. they are not meant to last for months 😅

Same here. I tried ernie ball (standard and paradigm), d'addarios (exl,exp and nyxl) and dunlop (mostly the heavy core stuff because of the gauges) but I always come back to nanowebs.

I have a guitar with Elixir Nanoweb. They were installed eight years ago. Played occasionally and still don't sound dull.

Same. Definitely not best sounding strings, but best ones for people with that 'acid sweat' condition like myself.

Definitely agree elixir are the shit, tried tons of different brands and I always regret it and come back to them

Same, Elixir are best and well worth the price. Allways outlast another brands a lot.

Is it easy for bend? I have les paul and plan to use XT 1046

wow

Fender strings are made by D'Addario.

Are you referring to the strings with bullet ends?
