I just bought a new classical guitar but the strings look a bit too high.
I’m really getting into playing the acoustic guitar. Should i get lighter or heavier strings for my guitar. I really like playing classical music and fingerstyle guitar. which gauge would be better for that type of music????
I need to buy classical guitar strings but i dont know what brand is the best. (i need some that dont untune easily)
Also, i have an Ax-50 and i dont know what brand to get and again, i need some that wont go out of tune very easily.
if it helps, i play a lot of death metal.
The sitar is the stringed instrument of India. Iy is made of gourds and teak wood. The neck is quite long compared to guitars and it has adjustable frets. The sitar is also equipped with TWO sets of strings.
The bottom part of the sitar is has usually around thirteen strings that are called “sympathetic” strings that are used for the rythm or “background” to the top strings. The top usually has from three to seven strings and is used for the “soloing” aspect of the instrument.
The sitar is tuned in fourths or fifths and it gets its name from the Persian words “si” meaning three and “tar” meaning “strings”.
The sound of the sitar to me is a mystical and very reverbative instrument that can really be played without accopanyment of other instruments due to its capability to carry both rythm and solo sounds simultaniously. I love the sound of this instrument.

i just re-strang my friends classical guitar for them and a couple of the strings are buzzing (the lower e and the a) i tried stretching the strings out and then tuning them again over and over (because you do this anyways to break the strings in so they stay in tune better) but that didnt work. i thought it might because its tightening the strings…. i know on acoustic and electric guitars that you adjust the screw, but this classical does not have that. so what are other ways of raising the action?
If you buy an acoustic guitar and put on nylon strings does that make it a classical.
I guess what i’m trying to say is i wanna buy a guitar and the acoustic one i want is cheaper than a classical. But the strings are steel and therefore harder on my finger, so should i just buy the acoustic and some nylon strings?
Thanks
