When I was a kid we could only afford to change the strings that broke. Everyone I knew had a “hybrid set”. We didn’t worry about gauge, we only wanted to fill in the missing string with anything close that we already had in our guitar case. Sometimes the windings would come loose and rattle on the cores, but we kept right on playing. Today, my kids help themselves to my D’Addario NYXL’s like they’re after dinner mints.
I still do tht. Lol i play in my trk on the road & when i string breaks i dont always hav anuthr so i mix & match ,2 weeks ago i tried to put g up on my hi e & it snapped & whiplashed me across the left forearm ! Lolol now i make sure an xtra pk of strings r in the trk , almost as important as my food. I’ll forget tho.
@skippy6086 hmmm, tht sounds like an issue w the instrument, idk but personally tho its the lightest i cant really say my 1 breaks anymore than my 6, nvr thought about tht but u would think it would right ?

I saw Yngwie for the first time ever this year at Hellfest 2024, and he plays like an absolute God. One of the most impressive playing I’ve seen in quite some time. Thank you for the incredible show Yngwie ❤️
I’m super into it. got 12 guitars some fender some gibson some prs, various tunings. and I want them all the feel as close to as my tele with 9.5-44 in standard. So i use the power of MATH, and a calculator someone else made. Thank you string joy!
It's hard to believe that a new string company could break through with so much competition but I have to agree. I was brand loyal to DR for almost 2 decades and now I'm almost all StringJoy.
I remember watching yngwie live with my brothers. Dude was phenomenal. No mistakes, just straight relentless intensity. And he would lock eyes with you, drop the pick, kick it with his pointy boot, right at you and by the time you caught it he already had another in hand. Absolute legend that seems unbelievable until you see him live.
Basically he’s saying he used /played 08 thru 10 gauge set strings growing up and figured out over time that he preferred to use certain strings from each of those gauges on his guitar to get a better feel of balance of tension across all six strings. So he landed on I believe using the low E and A from the 10 gauge set, the D and G strings of the 09 gauge set and the B and E strings of the 8 gauge set. Seems cool to me!
Yes that’s what I understood as well, and it makes sense… but fact is that it requires 3 sets of strings, and as soon as you’ ll break one string again, by definition you won’t have the same size string from the 12 strings left in the 3 sets… that’s an expensive way to get your guitar filled with the good strings for a perfect tension balance.. I’m certain he ´s right if he says so (I mean : hey it’s Yngwie who’s talking !), and I quite of noticed it myself even though I’m at a very humble level of playing, but this is something that is worth doing only if you’re a super professionnal and famous guitarist.. wether a very wealthy person (economically speaking )… for the 99,99% of all other people playing guitar, get a full set of any size that matches the most with your kind of playing and the type of guitar you’re using and go for it, the difference will be slight and almost unnoticeable…
@@RodFleming-World 🤔🤨🙄Muscle memory comes from practice. That much is true. String tension being redundant is BS. Proper string tension sounds better, feels better and you play better.
This is great!! Been so long since I've seen Ingwie that I couldn't recognize him... then I saw the cross hanging off his left wrist. The right hand does good, and the left does what it wants - but is judged by the Lord, as per the individual deed done.
Don’t disrespect Yngwie like that, one, and two, that’s one halfway a tone thing-it’s a comfort and range of playing thing. Light top, heavy bottom string setups relieve tension in the soloing strings and drag your heavy rhythm sections out of the mud; that’s one part of your sound that changes aside from easier bends. (Source: 15 years of experience playing guitar)
Yngwie wasn’t the first to discover hybrid string sets, but he was the first to create a hybrid genre of music with hybrid picking of hybrid scales on a hybrid set of strings.
I like high gauge on low strings and lighter gauge on high strings too. I always wanna play the low strings harder, and higher gauge holds the note better
@@pinkyellowblue007 for electric guitar at the moment I use EXL 110 strings but with a 52 on the low E string. This is for a 25” scale length. On acoustic guitar I play a wide range of alternate tunings and I have a bunch of single strings that I use in various configurations lol. My acoustic guitar has fanned frets going from 25.4” to 26.25”.
I'm thinking of aiming for as low as possible a guage for the BASS strings and also considering a thicker guage for the low end 9 feels way too delicate, i'm always worried about breaking it, and i'm also curious what a higher guage 'e' string sounds like tbh
The Ernie Ball Slinky Custom Gauge are usually my go to set as they are 9-46. You got the best of both worlds, a reasonably chunky bottom end with a lot of punch and the super light feeling at the top end for bends.
I've been using Eric Johnson nickel rockers for that very reason. They're a hybrid set, but instead of heavy top/light bottoms, the Low E A & G strings are heavier, and D B & high E are light. They're much more balanced across the fretboard instead of all heavy wound and light plain strings. Plus i love pure nickel wound.
i use hybrid 9 - 11 - 16 - 26 - 36 - 46 this is a standard hybrid set among many brands also known as "light top / heavy bottom" i found on les pauls it reall makes for a more full tone in rock chording
Multi-scaled instruments are great for evening out the tension. A lot of guitar and bass players use hybrid guages, a thicker E for a heavier crunch! A lighter G or high E for greater bends and harmonics.

Maybe I should up my high E. It's the one I always break after about 3 weeks to a month, but changing them all is beneficial as they're all dull sounding anyway. The brightness and tone of new strings is worth it and Ernie Balls are cheap in sets of 5. I'm spending maybe $50 - $60 a year to change them once a month. 4 days a week playing on average for about 2-3 hours a day.
How's everything else on your guitar as far as the bridge, saddles, nut, etc? That seems like an excessive amount of broken strings. I've been playing for 28 yrs & professionally since the early 00's & I've broken maybe 13-14 strings in my entire life. Same with drums, been playing 19 or so years & probably been at least a decade or more since I've broken a stick or cracked a cymbal. I don't baby my gear at all either & play extreme metal.
I have been playing for 35 years. I have tried many brands in acoustic guitar playing. Ever since I tried Elixir Nanoweb Bronze String I never bought another one. They are much better than all of them and they last much longer, they are worth the money. Try 1 time. And I haven't broken a string in years.
True, I used to play 8s back in the 90s, & broke a few but not often! MATERIAL makes a big difference as well! Hi nickel content makes them a lot more BRITTLE and less flexible! I still find stainless steel the best string material!
Rory Gallagher used these as well, they feel and sound lovely on a Strat or a Tele. You can set the action height the same right across the neck and the G doesn't feel unbalanced.👍
I've always used 8-46 for the reason Yngwie gives here. On my first guitar (a Strat), and my other guitars since. I liked a heavier guage for powerchords and a light guage for messing around at the high end with a little more ease. I'm no virtuoso, but even I could appreciate the difference between that and say, a set of 9-42.
I’ve always seen different opinions about which string is considered at the “ bottom” and which is at the “top”. To me the bottom looking down at the neck , is where the high e is.
I turn it the other way around. My guitar is kind of bright so I use a hybrid set with the strings from a 0.09 set on the bass and strings from a 0.10 set on the high strings. Works great for me. My other guitar has the thicker strings in the bass for a very full low end. It just depends on the instrument I guess
You could actually play all-wound strings and tune all of them in the lower octave -I've done it. Its cool because you can finally play a crunchy piano chord like a root + 2,4,5,6
Likely inspired by the great Ritchie Blackmore. Yngwie is a unique player regardless. I appreciate him more now than I did years ago, he’s just great to listen to .. a natural.
i got some kinda ernie ball set that’s like this once, shame that it rusted literally before i even got to play it (????) because ever since i heard about this i’ve always loved the idea, it genuinely seems like the best balance of both. really wish i knew of coated string sets like that bc those are my ride or die since i straight up cannot afford to change my strings every few weeks
I was the main soundman at Doug Weston’s Troubadour through the 90’s. Malmsteen’s WWIII came through one day. First off, he noodled at full volume through the entire soundcheck, making everyone scream for “Kick!!!” “Snare!!!”, etc. Later that night, during the final barrage in the encore, Yngwie threw his Strat up in the air. When it came down, it hit him in the head and caused a cut. His face turned three shades of red. He went to talk on his gold plated SM58, (he never sang), but someone in the audience had pulled out the cable so he couldn’t talk. He now turned another five shades of red. He was so pissed, he turned his head and hawked a loogie at the people watching at the side of the stage, hitting the tour manager’s wife straight in the face. A minute later, I saw the tour manager running across the stage up into the dressing room, and proceeded to have a full-on fist fight with Yngwie. The fought all the way out to the street. Later on, Malmsteen’s girlfriend came around and said she wanted to quit the tour that night because she knew Yngwie was going to beat the crap out of her. He lived up to every rumor I had heard about him. True story.
so each of the 6 strings on Malmsteen's guitars comes from a different set, the high e string gets the one from the strongest set, and the low e string gets the one from the thinnest set. and so on.

I have been playing for 35 years. I have tried many brands in acoustic guitar playing. Ever since I tried Elixir Nanoweb Bronze String I never bought another one. They are much better than all of them and they last much longer, they are worth the money. Try 1 time. And I haven't broken a string in years.
Just compensate a lower space between the pickup and strings on treble side and a larger space on the bass side of the pickup and it works.
That’s just not any guitarist, this mf is a legend!!!
electric elvis
you say that as if Elvis didn't play electric, yes, he's most famously shown either singing or with a Martin Acoustic, but he still played Electric

The blue Gibson David Gilmour strings are what I like. They are also a hybrid set. Highs are thick and lows are normal. 10-46 I think
I came to realize that an .08 gauge string will resist breaking a lot better than a .10 gauge simply because of less tension
True, I used to play 8s back in the 90s, & broke a few but not often!
MATERIAL makes a big difference as well!
Hi nickel content makes them a lot more BRITTLE and less flexible!
I still find stainless steel the best string material!
@@DMSProduktionsunless it's a nickel fret instrument. Like a strat. Then you destroy your frets. I have done this.
@@jcruisioso5975 With SS strings?
@@jcruisioso5975that's why I refretted my older Strats with stainless 6150. The new Strat Ultra Luxe models all come with SS frets.
I heard BB King used super light strings.
This is exactly how I'd like my guitars set up, 8's to 52's, but i can't find a single music store that sells individual strings anymore!
I agree with him. I use 10-52 on my Strats.
Love you yeah!!!
I play the Hendrix/Duane Allman set! I swear by them! 010, .013, .015, .026w, .032, .038 !!
What do you find are the benefits of that? Curious to try it, but I just don't get the logic of it
Of course I like that set up too. Thanks for bringing it up. I feel that's the most important gouge s we should learn lol.
Rory Gallagher used these as well, they feel and sound lovely on a Strat or a Tele. You can set the action height the same right across the neck and the G doesn't feel unbalanced.👍
Correct balance
I've always used 8-46 for the reason Yngwie gives here. On my first guitar (a Strat), and my other guitars since. I liked a heavier guage for powerchords and a light guage for messing around at the high end with a little more ease. I'm no virtuoso, but even I could appreciate the difference between that and say, a set of 9-42.
I’ve always seen different opinions about which string is considered at the “ bottom” and which is at the “top”. To me the bottom looking down at the neck , is where the high e is.
Ibwould lije to hear more about this
I turn it the other way around. My guitar is kind of bright so I use a hybrid set with the strings from a 0.09 set on the bass and strings from a 0.10 set on the high strings.
Works great for me.
My other guitar has the thicker strings in the bass for a very full low end. It just depends on the instrument I guess
GORGEOUS YNGWIE
This guitarist might be someone someday.
Man discovered EarninBall Reds - Skinny Tops Heavy Bottoms.
Been using them for 30 years. He's not wrong.
I prefer light top heavy bottom sets for more consistent tension across strings and better tuning on lower strings
use hybrid strings.. fatter bottoms for tension.. then tune half a step higher. all will be perfect
Makes sense
Jimi Hendrix also utilized a thick string lower string set of thicker strings and light gauge upper strings with the high E ultra light
You could actually play all-wound strings and tune all of them in the lower octave -I've done it. Its cool because you can finally play a crunchy piano chord like a root + 2,4,5,6
I used GHS Boomer thick-n-thins for years. 9's on bottom and 10's up top. We get old though.
And for me his signature set is the best I ever used.
This guitarist created a new genre called neo metal classic.. 😂..
Likely inspired by the great Ritchie Blackmore. Yngwie is a unique player regardless. I appreciate him more now than I did years ago, he’s just great to listen to .. a natural.
Blackmore and Malmsteen speak very well about guitaring
@@seabud6408 Uli Jon Roth
Ya , good point... and I think that Randy Rhodes gets that honorable mention....and before him Blackmore ,,👍
i got some kinda ernie ball set that’s like this once, shame that it rusted literally before i even got to play it (????) because ever since i heard about this i’ve always loved the idea, it genuinely seems like the best balance of both. really wish i knew of coated string sets like that bc those are my ride or die since i straight up cannot afford to change my strings every few weeks
I was the main soundman at Doug Weston’s Troubadour through the 90’s. Malmsteen’s WWIII came through one day. First off, he noodled at full volume through the entire soundcheck, making everyone scream for “Kick!!!” “Snare!!!”, etc. Later that night, during the final barrage in the encore, Yngwie threw his Strat up in the air. When it came down, it hit him in the head and caused a cut. His face turned three shades of red. He went to talk on his gold plated SM58, (he never sang), but someone in the audience had pulled out the cable so he couldn’t talk. He now turned another five shades of red. He was so pissed, he turned his head and hawked a loogie at the people watching at the side of the stage, hitting the tour manager’s wife straight in the face. A minute later, I saw the tour manager running across the stage up into the dressing room, and proceeded to have a full-on fist fight with Yngwie. The fought all the way out to the street. Later on, Malmsteen’s girlfriend came around and said she wanted to quit the tour that night because she knew Yngwie was going to beat the crap out of her.
He lived up to every rumor I had heard about him.
True story.
Holy shit! 😂
basically, you didnt understood his explanation.....
I believe everything he says about guitar
Django Reinhardt did this also. An old Gypsy Jazz trick.
point i faced that too
He's right too..
You can never get enough yngwie malmsteen man
so each of the 6 strings on Malmsteen's guitars comes from a different set, the high e string gets the one from the strongest set, and the low e string gets the one from the thinnest set. and so on.
This guitarist is either Ritchie Blackmore or Yngwie Malmsteen.
Yes. That random guitarist is great. He will be famous.
That guy is sent from a different planet telling us there's warp speed in guitar play
No guitarist doesnt know this master...
Yah, hybrids oddly enough are probably the most versatile as well.
The old dean markley f150s were the best hybrids
Why I use Dadarrio balanced tension strings
When the camera is panned to Yngwie, it's like youre looking into 1980
