Any string suggestions for this piece??

Tom: No real string suggestion, but that must be the sheet music for this instrument as it looks:

That's IT, Ralf!! I have to get one of those! Yoko, it's only me so far and with my mediocre flat-pick and strum style..... I really feel quite a few of the subtle nuances of the piece are not coming through, so.... yeah, I could use some help. Plus, I've only made it halfway through the first bar and .... I had to take a hot bath and a couple of aspirins. Maybe this is too ambitious......

Is that the same Gore guy who makes Elixier strings?

And the Gore-Tex outdoor clothing? :witless:

Or maybe the Al Gore Rhythm band for mathematicians? :triumphant:

I knew you had potential for contribution on this thread Joe.

Ralf: I'm delighted to see you address a serious topic for a change.

Well, Joe started to veer towards clothing and I just tried to correct it by bringing the topic back to...strings.

Thank you Ralf.
I, and many others here, appreciate your focused energy, and your habile aptitude for bringing the herd back on the trail.

 

[davismanLV]

Well, thank GOD that Ralf is keeping us on topic!! You know, I was gonna use my usual and favorite strings for that piece but, as I stared at the page of music for a while, I'm afraid they might come off just a tad too BRIGHT, if you know what I mean. I feel like the wrong string choice could ruin that piece...... :dejection:

 

[griehund]

IMHO strings for each type should be discussed in their corresponding section: archies & hollow, solid & chambered, acoustic & acoustic electric. Anyone asking a question about pork gut strings should be referred to the bar-b-que section where we can also swap recipes. But I digress. My preference would be linguini al dente.

 

[Yoko Oh No]

while we're on the subject, does anyone really believe in global warming/global cooling/climate change/string change?

 

[walrus]

Oh, absolutely - climate change affects *everything*, right? It has caused my G string to keep breaking, which is very embarrassing...

I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot poll. roud:

 

[Bill Ashton]

Tom, I think GHS Bright Bronze would be appropriate for this piece...

Yeah, I think Yoko's idea would be a good one, a new person coming to the site would see the string-section and
know where they should go with their question...maybe...or maybe not...

Can someone tell me how to make a UDK that says "GHS Bright Bronze?"

 

[southernGuild]

I Agree! The choice of strings is a major contributer to a guitars sound. It would be great to have a place to discuss this.
Good one Yoko!!! Glad youre feeling better. ......and Tell Barry Gibb Hello. We'll sort out his string problems here!

Nobody herds cats like Ralf.

 

[davismanLV]

walrus, I don't think it's the weather that's causing your G-string to break. Maybe it's your suntan lotion? No. That would be why it slips..... :cupcake:
