I did a search on strings and found several threads where people name what they use, but my question is a little different.
1. Is there a way to try out strings with out buying new ones all the time? My wife is not too happy with my new-found GAS (just today I called someone about an amp on craigslist and you should have seen her reaction). You can try out guitars, amps, etc, but I'm new and kinda flying blind when it comes to strings.
2. Is there a chart that can give outlines at to what certain strings sound like? You know, "brighter" "deeper" "dirtier" "mellower" "sonicy" so that when I get some, I can figure out which direction to go?
Just to be clear, I'm not asking what you use, but how do I figure out where to start?
