I could imagine that being a problem alright.

for about two years all i played was a strat with EAD from an acoustic and GBE from a set of 9's. Great for Riffs.

I bought the Lidl strings last time.They're ok in a pinch..but they arent the best.

They are covered in oil from the manufacturing process..so they need a good cleaning before you put them on.

I put on a set of the Lidl ones last week. They're fine, and I didn't notice the oil. I was all prepared to wipe them down but they were grand.

If they bring them back I'm going to buy a shitload.

I can't figure out the P&P but it's three packs for 13 quid

I got three packs of the lidl strings last time. I'm flying through them on the Les Paul, breaking 3 or 4 per rehearsal. They seem to last longer on the strat.

I just don't break strings. I can't remember the last time i did. I just change them when they dull. Or when i feel like have too much money.

anyone else?

 

[therealjohnny]

I used to break them all the time. I learned how to tie them properly and stretch the fuck out of them. Now it's a rare occurrence, usually if I've been lazy and haven't changed them in ages

 

[ann post]

oh. I was going to tag you suspecting you'd never break them with the styles you play.

 

[therealjohnny]

I can be pretty heavy on the E and A and do a fair bit of string bending

Usually when I break them is when I can't hear myself properly so over do it on the right hand

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I used to break even more, I did use a 1mm plec but now use a .88mm. It made a difference. Although I can be a touch heavy handed which is the main reason.

 

[ann post]

I suppose i haven't changed gauge, guitar or plectrum weight for about 20 years.

I need to play more like Noel Gallagher, the gentlest guitar player I've seen. Barely touches them. He's done alright.

 

[ann post]

Nobody needs to play more like noel gallagher. not even him.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

The Gallaghers have that Gordon Ramsey thing where they're doing something thats quiet soft so the have to over compensate by acting extra hard.
