I prefer 9's, but I have a heavy pick hand so I actually play faster with 10's since they are tighter. The 9's keep me from hitting too hard.

since we both are left handed and play right hand guitars - +1 on this dave. im wondering if when i stand up to play if i will loose some accuracy in my bends. i do know that arppegio sweeps will be easier, resonate tones will be much better, chords will be alot more full, and fast sliding mode changes up the neck will be alot easier as well.

the ease to do vibrato squeals as i please on low E is a character i like with 9's, also i feel like i can pull just about any note with ease. but i have a very very light touch to my right hand, and a very light left hand 80% of the time on runs going down the neck vertically and only play heavy when i get to the upper registers. 9's usually are easier for me to pick, im wondering if i will have a problem in the right hand category with the strings being too stiff? :confused:

i also use a very thin pick because of my light right hand - .88mm - which allows me to have better control. just wondering if it will fit my style better with a light touch?



Any chance you have any Youtubes or clips I can listen to?
 
yes most certainly, but its not up to date, and also is one of my personal training videos so its really just alot of wanking. i dont have recording software, so the volume is extremely low from the vypyer, and you will hear more string sounds than amplifier. its also ~6 months old, so i have been training on all the video's habbits/donts/mistakes. i need to post a more up to date one in my neo-classical style which is where im at currently (impellitteri/bach).

after that disclosure, enjoy!
