I'm confused about how strings are labelled. I have read here that people recommend 'light' guage strings for beginners, and say 9 or 10 would be about right. I have a set of strings (Plectrum, Thomastik-Infeld, Vienna) that are labelled .011, .014, .019, .027, .036, .050. Does this mean they are 11's?
I am due to replace the strings on a new guitar, and don't want to be bamboozled by the salesman 'cos I get easily distracted and convinced when I'm surrounded by such tempting treats. (His name is Rocky, he's swift and he's sly, and it's hard to escape, if you don't want to buy!)..Gee.....I hope he's not reading this.........Hi, Rocky.......nice Rocky!!!!!!!
