I believe getting strings in the 12-13 range will give you a bassier soung and work well with bigger bodied guitars. and the 11's and 10's will give you a softer sound and work better on concert size and smaller bodies. I would like to hear some opinions on this theory.

My friend Cam is looking to buy an electric. He doesn't know how to play but he wants to learn. He is looking for a nice electric within the $200 range. He asked me for help, so now I'm asking you guys. I'd like to find something for him that isn't cheaply made, but doesn't cost too much. Something that won't turn him away from playing. Any suggestions?? Anything would be a help
I'm more of an acoutic player, but I have played my fair share of electrics. I found that in th 200.00 price range Ibanez makes a great playing guitar. Tell you're friend that for 100.00 more, it will open up a whole world of very nice guitars and many different brands to chose from. if he ends up later down the road not sticking with it, it will be easier to sell the better guitar. Good luck.

Re: Tablature?? (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Correct, there are alot of veriations for TABS, but if I were reading this I would think they want you to play the 13 and slide up to 14. If they wanted you to bend the note up it would look like this 13^14.

Funny how things work out, It's Rainy and crappy here too, except I'm sitting at work wishing I was home playing my guitar. Guess I have to be careful of what I wish for. Hang in there things will get better. I have no song suggestions, just pick it up and play whatever comes out!

I went with Elixir polyweb extra light 010 - 047 I'm not very experienced but these strings are easy on the fingers and soon good. They are a bit pricey.
I agree with Tony, the Elixer Nano web lights are also good. There almost like a nylon.

I have the AEL 20E, I also have a higher end guitar thats a little newer. I have more fun playing my Ibanez. It has a great bold sound to it and stays in tune forever.For the money I think its one of the best guitars out there.
