antimatter Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 So I got this new 8 track digital recording device, and I get a book on recording, and I'm reading up on recording acoustic guitar.... The book says that certain strings have "less finger slide squeak" than others. I have used Martin strings like forever. Of course after I read this, I'm a squeaking fool. Anyone know of some sorta squeak free strings? I thought squeak was like a hand oily/humidity/room type thing. I assume Nylon strings are different, but ain't metals all alike?

DanG Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Different miking postitions often help, although it can sound kinda cool having a wee bit of fret noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Lander Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 The closest you'll come is to go with a coated string. Elixir, d'Adarrio and Black Diamond make them as, I'm sure, do others. Of the three listed I like the d'Adarrio & Black Diamonds. I personally don't like the Elixir strings though there are lots of folks that do. Try 'em all & pick the one that works best for you. All that being said, I don't use coated strings on any of my instruments. I use DR Strings. Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it."
