What Are The Best Electric Guitar Strings For Beginners?

What are the best electric guitar strings for beginners? Good question! And that's what we're covering in today's guitar lesson for beginners. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you. There's been a lot of controversy over the years about string gauges & which sounds best.

Lighter strings will make your tone tighter & brighter. So if you're playing in a band or recording, lighter strings will cut through a mix more easily. On top of that, lighter strings are far easier to play as they require much less effort. So my recommendation for my students is to get the lightest strings you can. I currently play 7 gauge strings on my electrics & playing is so easy...
