Re: Lighter touch
As a fellow SRV and Metal fan I started playing on 12s and now I’m playing 9s for Standard E I like a 9-46 As I’ve grown as a player my string gauge has got lighter
So for E standard I used to play 10-52, now 9-46
Drop D used to 10-56, now 9-52
D Standard used to be 11-56, now 10-52
Drop C used to be 11-60, now 10-56
C Standard used to be 12-60, now 11-56
Drop B used to be 12-64, now 11-60
B Standard used to be 12-64 which hasn’t changed
Drop A used to be 12-74, now 12-68
I also use a lighter pick as I used to use a 3mm gravity picks now I use Dunlop primetones jazz iii XL 1.4mm
This reduction in tension has caused me to raise my action so I don’t cause a buzzfest as I pick incredibly hard by the way
Trying to control my picking intensity and dynamics
Obviously this depends on scale length but this is generally.
