Jimmy's Guitar String Bible

Who of you have ever wandered into a guitar shop to just pick up a set of strings and just looked up at the wall in wonder at the huge variety up on display, and then just picked up the same brand and type that you’ve always used. Of course you could get into a discussion with the guy behind the counter about what strings might be better for you, but to tell you the truth, most of those guys are just there to get what you ask for off the wall. Not many people really know much more about strings than what some other guitarist has told them about their preferences.
Then again, maybe you’re not a complete novice to stringology, but you want to change brands or you want to try playing to a D drop tuning but your bottom E now doesn’t feel quite right and you don’t know why, or what you can do about it.
Well, here’s some news for you, string theory isn’t a secret, but you’re not going to get the knowledge you need from store assistants. And that’s not necessarily because these guys don’t know about string theory - all of them know something, but very few of them know everything. And if that’s not bad enough, think about what they’re employed to do. They are there to sell you what you ask for, and they simply don’t have hours to spend talking just to you about the nuanced differences between the hundreds and hundreds of different brands and types of string in their store.
This booklet, fills the gap for you - it gives you enough information to asked informed questions and have meaningful discussions with music shop staff that won’t take 90 minutes out of their day.
