I use D'Addario Phosphor Bronze wound strings, light gauge.
Strings should be wiped clean after each playing session to keep them fresh and should be changed every 6 weeks or so. I don't change mine anywhere near that often - too expensive.
Taken with a 200mm zoom + 2x extender. I a little blurrier than I would like, but for reasons I can't explain, I like this photo.
The above photograph was inspired with a theme of conformity. Often in life we feel like we are being controlled in everything we do just like a puppet on strings. We are then lead to believe that we need these strings to survive in society. I've used the colour red on her shoes and lips to symbolise unity and individuality. I have then enhanced the colour red on her lips and the lighting to help strengthen my ideas and hence fit the manipulated category.
The Booneslick Strings played traditional music for the dancers and onlookers at the Rendezvous Grand Ball with stately Grouseland in the background. It was hot and buggy, but the music made it more bearable to wait in line for 45 minutes for the candlelight tour of Grouseland (no photography allowed inside -- boo!). My toe was tapping!
These will be the first nylon "gut" strings with which I have ever strung a guitar. A different procedure at the base and bridge than with steel strings, which I have been doing for more than half of my life now. We shall see how it goes. ;-)
Thank goodness for these "how to" YouTube videos people post. So many things are much easier to figure out if you can watch somebody do it, for sixty seconds. :)
