Strings are an extremely important part of your guitar. They are the source of the sound and are what you actually play.
In this Riff Notes series book, you’ll discover everything you need to know about strings so that you can immediately get off to the right start, whether you are playing an electric or acoustic guitar.
The two main types of strings, steel and nylon, are fully explored. Steel is metal and nylon is a stretchy plastic. Strings are either plain or wound, and this is how they are referred to when we discuss a single string. Any guitar you buy comes with strings already on it, but knowing all about them—what kind is right for your guitar and how to maintain and replace them—is essential. All of this and more is explained in this Riff Notes book.
