Hello, im fairly new to playing guitar i started about 5 months ago, i felt like i ought to try some new strings, and learn how to replace them. so i go to my local music shop with the intention on buying some slinky power strings, they were all out so i decided to get the beefy strings. i get home i just try the 6th string but for what i wanted to play i found it quite hard, i was in drop d trying to do a bend on the 1st fret for the song Walk by Pantera. i have an Ibanez Grx something, im interested in metal, bands such as pantera, death, evile, children of bodom. I wonder what strings you think would suit me. I also bought a pantera tab book from the shop, and thats just usually 1/2 a step to 1 1/2 step down in tuning.

The only thing I wanted was some Group III flat wounds. Assistant manager asks if I need any help - and I told him what I was looking for. "Nope - don't have any Ernie Ball Flats - don't carry them" Why I ask ''Cuz no one buys them" he said. I pointed to an empty slot next to the Slinkies that said Ernie Ball Flat Wounds above it and asked "then why do you have a slot for them"?

Duh............ he got all flustered and checked inventory and found that yes they had had some but gee, they must have sold all of them.

Went online - ordered from the GC site and will have my strings and an EB battery operated string winder thingy in a couple days. ]]> Ernie Ball Strings Eggman http://www.ernieball.com/forums/ernie-ball-strings/41071-guitar-center-duh.html http://www.ernieball.com/forums/ernie-ball-strings/41051-coated-strings.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:44:08 GMT Anybody want to share there experence an thoughts on the coated strings?

It seems that Joe Bonamassa is sponsored by Ernie Ball and he plays Ernie Ball Slinkys Strings lately - i know he played Pure Nickel Strings all the time (Dean Markley) - John Mayer too he always used Pure Nickel Strings (DŽAddario).

I canŽt imagine that they now play Slinkys (Nickel Plated) and not Pure Nickel - so please give me some first-hand informations about that.

All the best! ]]> Ernie Ball Strings Earplayer http://www.ernieball.com/forums/ernie-ball-strings/41035-new-artists-bonamassa-mayer.html http://www.ernieball.com/forums/ernie-ball-strings/41032-pure-nickel-strings-acoustic-guitar.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:47:19 GMT I just read on a blog where some guy claims that he uses Ernie Ball pure nickel stirings on his acoustic/electric.

Seems that despite the larger E string, the slinkys feel a little more flexible. Which set has a higher tension: Ernie Ball med guage Flats, OR Ernie Ball Power Slinkys with a .110 E string?
