Are my strings dead????

[@Andrew-vj7gw]

Please note the major pulse-beat on the dead strings during ring out. This does indicate that the are not tuned right or can no longer hold correct tune. There is only a steady ring on the new strings.

@Andrew-vj7gw absolutley, tough sometimes to explain to people.

It helps if you tune it

This was really helpful to hear you compare them with the ring out. Thank you for making this video

Some call that mellow. I like to hear them ring. Gimme some twang.

[@lucaswelshmusic7607]

I find room in my heart for both tones....gives me an excuse to get more guitars. Lol

@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I have a 66 Southern Jumbo and Elixr 80/20 Bronze Nanoweb strings give be the brightness I like on some songs. Their Phosphor Bronze Polyweb strings give me the mellow tone I like on other songs. If I'm playing the bright strings and want mellow, I pick with the flesh of my fingers and if I'm playing the mellow strings and want bright, I use my nails more. I like your "more guitars" method better.

I got 4 year old strings on my 53 year old Yamaha fg75 and it plays and sounds amazing

That is crazy 🤯

No such thing as 2 identical guitars

[@lucaswelshmusic7607]

@Mytwocentsisallicanafford very true. But at least they are from the same company, I feel like it was a pretty fair comparison...

[@restlessgeezer]

Check to see if they're breathing.

[@CameraLaw]

Love new zingy strings. But it seems they to need to be tuned every ten minutes. By the time they stay in tune nicely, say in a month or two, are they now close to the end of their life?

[@lucaswelshmusic7607]

@CameraLaw depends how much you play. I can wear through a set of strings in a hard night of playing. But Ibhave warm hands.

[@CameraLaw]

@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I play piano. My Yamaha upright hasn’t had new strings in 35 years. Tunes up beautifully about once every year or two. Not being contradictory, it’s just the way it is with that particular instrument which has about 230 strings (says Google).

[@lucaswelshmusic7607]

@CameraLaw oh yeah a piano is another beast altogether.

@@lucaswelshmusic7607 I've been playing for 48 years. when I played out I changed strings every night

[@billdivine9501]

Do you recommend changing strings on a newly purchased guitar?

[@lucaswelshmusic7607]

@@billdivine9501 I think a lot of "budget friendly" guitars come with cheaply manufactured strings. You could swap them out right away, they will likely go dead very fast anyways

[@sebakrol3433]

The strings are dead when i began to like it how they sound.

[@lucaswelshmusic7607]

Absolutley, sometimes I like a string that has lost that sizzle, especially when recording.
