No honestly, my friend Suzanne (not the one who takes you down to the river) came over with her friend Ron. He had an Alvarez dread and for real.... it wasn't bad. But he was fussing that it was hard to play. So I shoved a whole bunch of guitar in his hands and said, "Is this better?" Well it sounds better but it's still hard for me to hit these notes. So I said, look when did you buy this? 4 years ago. Have you ever had new strings on it. "Well, no......" So I said, "Oh dear god......" So I changed his strings and showed him how to do it and he was very grateful. I asked, "Do you want mellow and subdued, or bright and chimey?" He went for mellow.
Woody, after all this time..... why are we worrying about your f**king strings?? WHY??
Sorry didn't mean to be a bitch but, just change strings and get what you like and keep on keeping on........
Much love, Tom :encouragement::encouragement::encouragement:
IF they were L350's; then theywhich is really D'Addario PB lights EJ16.
IF they were L350's; then they
had an .025 instead of an .024 "G"
Don't forget there were also M350's
:friendly_wink:
Please teach her G using 2, 3, and 4. So much easier to slide into C. :wink:

Those might be D'Addarios.......from the usual source:I wish D'Addario does what Martin does: a .54 big E string, a .25 G string.

If Tom would like to send a a membership to his String of the Month club, where I can get news strings every 30 days, and only pay 1.99 and 10cents per pack after that....I'm all in ! ( Remember the Columbia House record and tape club ? )
Yes. They were the Amazon of their day, but it wasn't a subscription model, like Columbia House, it was just a mail-order model.i remember my Dad telling me once you could buy a house from Sears magazine. and they would deliver all the pieces to assemble.

That's how I finger my G, too!! Or 2, 3, 4 (B string 3rd fret), 5. I don't know if I can even do the 3, 4, 5 fingering anymore, although that's how I first learned it. Your suggestion opens up a world of possibilities for jumping to other chords.
