I have found that the Regular Slinky (yellow) is much easier to tune in Rocksmith vs the Pink Super Slinky strings. This is especially the case with the songs with alternate tuning like Drop D. The pink will often not register notes right. They are a bit harder to bend but I think easier to grab with your fingers.

These are more for playing Metal/Hard Rock songs. If you plan to play that type of genre then these will do fine.

Ok what kind of guitar do you have? An acoustic or an electric? If you have an electric guitar then yes these strings are great.

I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm. When I tried to bend one a bit it snapped in half.I've had a classical guitar, as well, the strings are definitely thicker than a ukulele's, I think that these MIGHT work.I also don't have very strong fingernails, I used to bite them and only stopped a few years ago. But, after trying it out, I would say to grow them out a bit and shape them into rounded points. Then try picking. Your nails should eventually get stronger, and the shape really helps. It's way better than using a pick, especially for Spanish guitar. Arpeggio is nearly impossible with a pick.Whatever you do, don't give up. I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm.

These are electric guitar strings. I wouldn't recommend this specific model. I believe DR has neon acoustic strings though.

That guitar will tune fine if you do it correctly. However they don't stay in tune as long as a full size guitar. I'm guessing its an electric guitar. Take the plug, plug it into the guitar jack and the jack on the tuner. The cord to do this should come with the guitar. I'm going to tell you how to tune it in Standard EADGbE tuning. Pluck the first string (the thickest string) and you will get a sound. Slightly turn the tuning pegs no more than a 1/4 turn around as you pluck the guitar string, keep turning the tuning pegs slowly (again, as you pluck that string) until the tuner says E (this tuner will say 6E). After that go one string down, each gets progressively thinner, then keep plucking and turning the tuning pegs until it says A (tuner will say 5A). Keep doing that, turning the peg to tighten the correspomding string for the next 4 strings, going to the smaller string each time for D, G, B and E (E is what the thinnest string will be tuned to.) Again, thickest string to thinnest (top to bottom) you will want E-A-D-G-B-E. Use the little green light in the middle as youre tuing so you know you're on key and getting exactly the sound you want. Some guitars only do it so well, so don't be bothered if you can't get it 100% correctly and just do it the best you can. M

A digital tuner is your best bet, but I wouldn't waste my money. I have owned two of these and the tuning keys got loose and ruined the guitar with just one or two tunings.

I can't answer that question. The guy who made my guitar told me what strings to use and so I buy them only. I believe I am using the EXP strings. Light guage and they are nice enough for a player like myself.

I put them on an Ibanez 12 string. Dont know if they will fit any other but, thet sure do brighten up the guitar. If that is what you are looking for they are worth the investment.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, but in order for the strings to learn how to keep tune, you will have to continuously tune the strings. It may take a few days until it can hold perfect tune. Mine happen to keep tune within the first couples days. Just like any stringed instrument, the more you use it, the better the sound. Good luck and just be patient

They are great strings for any acoustic guitar. I would go with the EXP10 extra light for a beginner. They will be a little easier on the fingers.

These strings are intended for electric guitars, but I think they will work with acoustic guitars, specially the mid-range strings. Just see if the retention mechanism of your acoustic guitar can hold the ring of the end of the strings.

I asked my son. I bought these strings for him. He indicated that he wouldn't recommend attempting to tune up as the metal is softer than other strings, although he said that he liked the sound. The strings didn't last long for him.

These are very good strings. I put them on a Hellcat VI, which has a 30' scale, when I wanted to use it as a true baritone. Looking at Ernie Ball baritone strings, they are 13-72, as where these are 14-68. I doubt you would have to make any permanent mods to the nut or bridge to use these. I hope this helps. Cheers!

They work perfectly on electric guitars. I installed theses on my old Ibanex GX and they are amazing, no need for string winders and they keep the strings from slipping so no unnecessary re-tuning.

I don't know what kind of strings they are, but I can tell you that once they get stretched out to hold a tune they actually sound pretty good. I did buy some aquilla's for backups, but I haven't used them yet and I am really enjoying them so far. Had it about a month and a half. Really good quality instrument for the money by the way.

They are regular guitar strings That have a color coating. The multi color strings just match the colors used for each string in Rocksmith.
