It's me again guys, please tell me that this is normal!
My fast LEGATO playing has turned into crap ever since i put on those gauge 11-48 Ernie Ball strings. It's like my fingers have decreased double the speed that they use to and they seem to get tired. Could it really be the new string gauge?
I went from gauge 10-46 to 11-48? Can it really be that?
Im almost angry when i turn off my amp because i can't get my legato playing up to speed even how much i try. Especially my ring finger has turned slow and i can't get the notes out as they should sound!! And it's like my right hand and left hand are not working together anymore.
Can this really be normal? should i change back to 10-46 or should i give it time and let my fingers addapt to the new strings?

Even before the new strings, I sometimes have periods of decreased speed when doing shredding (especially Legato hammer-on, pull-off stuff in Pentatonic boxes), is there and explanation for that? It's pretty damn annoying :(
