gypsyjazzer Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I play finger style electric guitar. Experiencing a slight problem of finger nail noise coming through with the note. I am currently using nickel wound strings. [b]Do you use a different type of string to eliminate nail noise?[/b] Just to mention my nails are cut right down to the finger tip.

Mykesbass Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Pretty sure string type would only reduce noise from your fretting hand. Can't you embrace the noise as a natural part of the fingerstyle sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsyjazzer Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Thanks for the replies. Not tried Flatwounds yet. Considered them though. Anybody tried Flatwounds v Pure Nickel Strings for tone and longliverty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Flatwounds are sweet but duller than rounds. Sorry to disagree with Japanaxe, but I don't think they will make any difference with noise from your right hand, they will however, stop any string squeaking from your left hand. D'addario Chromes are very nice, used them a lot on an old jazz guitar I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
