Practicing for tomorrow's acoustic set promising to stop torturing myself with .012s and switch to .011s, but after the next string change because I have a fresh set of .012 DR Veritas strings to put on after these ones wear out and these things cost money.
@rowjimmy I think heavier strings are great when your objective is to be able to dig into chording and have more dynamic range. Quick and nimble leads, not so much.
@rowjimmy So as of last night, it has come to my attention that the bluegrass people all use 13s. I don't know how they do this.
I wonder what gauge BMFS uses. Or Molly T.
@dave_heumann@rowjimmy I just got back from Merlefest where I joined picking circles each night. My fingers are killing me and I can confirm that almost everyone in bluegrass uses .013s (as do I).
