i play lots n lots. light strings is the best

day and not cause problems with my hands. quickness
and agility are most important i think. i thought
the purpose of playin was to enjoy and sound good.
never really considered challengin someone to a
strong finger contest. lighten up huh?

well it all depends. i shouldnt try to argue/debate with you because im 14, but regardless of age-

i got used to my .009 electric strings...then i got my acoustic, which is i think .013 or higher. well, needless to say, it was a bit tougher at first. so thats what i mean is a CHALLENGE- because if your playing .009's, then you pick up a .014 , are you going to be able to play as good on it as you can with the .009's? no, but if you play on a .014, then every once in a while go to a .009, you will be able to tear it up alot easier.
in my opinion, you can get quickness and agility on .013's, you just have to work harder. also known as a CHALLENGE. who wants to take the easy way out?


i also practice alot- 35 to 40 hours a week. i 'practice lots n lots' too.
