What are the best electric guitar strings for beginners? Good question! And that's what we're covering in today's guitar lesson for beginners. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you. There's been a lot of controversy over the years about string gauges & which sounds best. When I was first learning I always heard that "thicker strings mean better tone", but that's just not true. Your tone has far more to do with how you play & hold the guitar, the electronics in your guitar, & especially your amp. However, thicker strings WILL make your tone darker. Lighter strings will make your tone tighter & brighter. So if you're playing in a band or recording, lighter strings will cut through a mix more easily. On top of that, lighter strings are far easier to play as they require much less effort. So my recommendation for my students is to get the lightest strings you can. I currently play 7 gauge strings on my electrics & playing is so easy & effortless I can't imagine why my younger self ever insisted on playing 12s and 11s.
