Notes
I usually use the D’Addario Mediums, especially when I’m going to be doing a lot of alternate tuning work. I’ve found that the slightly thinner D and A strings in that set are less prone to break over the course of a night of performing pieces that use alternate tunings than the standard .036 and .046 gauges. If I know I’m only going to be playing in standard tuning and I want to take it easy I’ll sometimes use the GHS Lights instead.
