Gibson mediums are my preference.
Each person is different along with their style of play.
Heavies can be unforgiving while thins tend to stretch more and require more frequent tuning.
Mediums are a good balance.

Go to Guitar Center and ask for a set of 9s, it means the E is a 9 gauge. That's the standard "rock" set of guitar strings. Thicker isn't better, generally thin guage strings for rock.
They don't matter a lot either. If they're thicker, you'll have a harder time making the notes "clear" when pressing the chords down.
Some people replace their strings ALL THE TIME, but Van Halen will sounds good on a P.O.S. guitar from CostCo, with rusty strings.
Get some 9s and just practice as much as you can.

String type has very little effect on the music other than slight tone/vibrancy variations. Thicker strings tend to be harder to work with but over-all tend to stay in tune better unless you are using a tremelo. If you're interested in playing metal/rock, the easiest way to get that "chunky" sound is with new pickups and effects. I personally use Thomastik-Infeld PB109's (09-11-16-24-32-42). Excellent tone and sustain.
Feel free to email me.

MQ: average i think of you have composed an extremely good checklist of the two technically experienced and unique memorable bass gamers. i'm a guitar participant yet I deffinitely rejoice with bass gamers for what they upload to a metallic band and for their ability (**** i'm no longer able to play bass lol). MQ2: Hmm That checklist is especially good yet i think of two human beings i might surely evaluate including could be Alex Webster and Jeff Hughell. i might probable replace Myung with a minimum of a style of two because of the fact surely i'm no longer a Dream Theater fan. they are not my style of music.

GHS boomers are f*cking awsom. they give you a great combination of a thick bottom and a light top for and all around sound. i love the 10-60. try them and you will never look back.

I use ernie ball 010 gauge and they work fine. If you change the gauge from the gauge on your guitar, it is likely you will have to readjust the intonation.

no not really.
thicker strings are harder to work with.
the thinner ones are good for riffs...easily moveable.
also, allot has to do with the type of guitar you have too.
