**I needed to change my acoustic guitar strings for a gig I was getting ready for! Can’t go on live with dead guitar strings!
Now, when I picked up this pack of acoustic strings it was just a random thing. I actually had not used Ernie Ball strings in years and had never heard of ‘Earthwood’ strings.
Seriously, the name Earthwood sounded cool so that’s why I bought them! I’m kinda funny like that (like, I play the slot machines that have Pandas or Dragons because I like Pandas and Dragons…there’s no deeper thought than that!)
Anyway, I had Elixir strings on my acoustic before this, which is why I had not changed strings in so long. Those strings last forever but they do lose their tone after a few months. But I usually only play acoustic guitar on my patio about 2-3 times a week, so there’s hasn’t been any real need to have new strings (until I had this acoustic gig).
So how do I like the Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic strings? Well, I’m posting this video on YouTube about a week after changing guitar strings (you guys may have seen a shorter version of this video on IGTV the prior week).
They sound great, and I really like the way they play. The thing is Earthwood strings don’t really sound or feel like most brand new strings. You know how you put new strings on and everything is so bright sounding and plays kind of weird at first?
It actually feels (and sounds) like the strings are already kinda ‘broken in’ if that makes sense. I’ve never liked the sound of brand new strings so this is a plus for me.
Again, these are the Earthwood LIGHT strings. I don’t really care for heavier strings. That may be because I play a lot of leads and heavier strings just never felt right to me.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried (or currently play) with Ernie Ball Earthwood strings, and let me know your thoughts!
If not, comment and let me know what type of acoustic guitar strings you use (and why!).
I hope you enjoyed this video, and please give it a thumbs up!
Keep it Metal,
Jason
