Whenever I stand up and play guitar, when I strum (with a pick) my strumming hand’s (right) index finger keeps hitting the bottom E string, and it hurts. Is there any way to stop this? Am I doing something wrong? I like playing rock/punk music, so I have my guitar quite low. Bookmark it: Read more...

And now I went and changed the strings ( ernie ball if that matters) and both of my guitars are buzzing. Im not an expert at the guitar. So Ill take any advice anyone has. Im still learning and I have never ran across this problem before. Thanks for any help I really appreciate it. Bookmark it: Read more...

i’ve never played before, and someone gave me a classical guitar. it has 3 plastic strings (GBE) and 3 metal (EAD), but I really don’t like how different they sound. i have 4 nylon spare strings. [e-1, e-6, g-3, &b-2]. should i mix the nylon and the metal, the nylon and the plastic, or what? i’ve never restrung a guitar before, so any advice is appreciated. Bookmark it: Read more...

I recently bought an acoustic guitar and the strings hurt my fingers. I’m used to playing my electric, and those strings are thinner and easier to play. What would be some recommended strings for this kind of transition? Brand/size or whatever would be great! =) Bookmark it: Read more...

Jackson’s strings feel perfect, nice and loose and easy to bend the strings all over the place. is the difference mostly the strings? or the guitar? I’m a good guitar player, I’ve just never figured this out! My instructor suggested trying lighter gauge strings. Read more...
