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 have this guitar and I put 10-46 strings on it no problem. I don't know what strings came on it. I changed them immediatly.

I have two acoustic guitars and they work fine on both. They are a little easier on the fingers than heavier strings. If you are a beginner I would definitely recommend these until your fingers are tougher, then consider going to a heavier string.

I use Luxilon Big Banger 16 gauge. I actually like them better then the original strings. You get more power and more spin. They last a long time.

Beware! Your guitars are set up to handle light strings. If you get any other size your guitar may buzz

These are great strings and I think you have your answer below. It does take a long time to get new strings to stay in tune, though. Get a tuner and tune it every time you pick it up. Keep your old strings as back up, but, you'll never use them. Aquila is worth buying. You can take your uke to a music store. I bet they'd be happy to assist. Have fun and check out all the youtube tutorials. They are very helpful, too.

I don't know what kind of strings but they are decent. If you are new to the guitar, you will probably want to replace them with some light gauge 'silk and steel' strings, which will be easier on your fingers.

I don't know anything about 'poly covered strings for an 'Electric Guitar. These are not for an acoustic guitar. I get these for my son. He's a lead guitar player in a 'Rock Band. He told me that he won't use any strings EXCEPT these.

They are a little better than the stock MIM tuners, but I wish I would have just went with the shcallers. Dont get them if you think they will keep you from tuning. You will still have to constantly retune your guitar. Tuning stability comes more from your nut than the tuning pegs. They are a step up from the stock tuners, just make sure you tune your guitar with slack in the string. Pull through tight and then pull string back about one fret. Lock the tuner, then tighten slowly giving yourself a nice downward rotation.

These are great strings ; I have only used them on my Martin Dreadnaught..I'm no expert but ,in my opinion ' you only use steel strings of any kind on steel string instruments....for a real expert opinion, why not e-mail Martin guitar company Nazareth Penn. Good luck Bob J.

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.

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

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

I would recommend Elixir strings for any acoustic guitar. They're a little more expensive but are well worth it. They do last longer, play a little easier and reduce string talk in a way no other string I've tried comes close.

Yes definitely. Strings are a very personal choice when it comes to playing guitar. Some people love certain brands, some people dislike the same brand. Just try different packs until you find one that has a tone you like. But these are definitely a great choice. I use them myself. Long life, bright and boomy and very crisp. - Andy

Hello Peter, I recommend Dunlop Formula 65, works great on my Guitars. Thanks,Leo.

The violin that we purchased came equipped with strings already installed. Most of them snapped upon first tuning. We are experience with violins, so this means the strings are of poor quality. Do your self a favor and order a set of better quality strings in addition to the violin. Would suggest Daddario prelude steel strings ($15?). They are USA made, and will work well on an electric violin. All the best!
