You may also consider buying two, one light and one medium. That way you save on shipping.Exercise advice: If you want to exercise during the day at your desk, all-day then go for a light one. If you set a particular time to exercise your hands then choose a higher tension.

I never played guitar so I don't really know how much finger strength is required. The Black High Tension though seems way too much for that. I use these to train for rock climbing and the High Tension is quite strong. Hope it helps!

Hi Priscila, I am a beginning guitar player too, and I chose the red medium tension one...I told my guitar teacher about it after I started using it, and he cautioned against "overuse" and he wasn't really very impressed with the idea...I had thought it made sense...I have to say I haven't used it much after he made that comment....but I do like it and I think overall it could be good for the hands to stay limber....

Well, the medium tension is 7lbs so i think its best for beginning guitar players. I too began playing guitar and I find the medium tension perfect.

Yes indeed it be easy to use. I'd suggest switching strings a couple months in. I did although not perfect it works, I think the gauge on them is 9 so I went with 9.5. It's really good for me and I just started learning in march. Plus I bought a fender mustang 1 amp, because the included amp does not have presets which make the guitar sound even better. It's a must for the price and you won't be disappointed. Hope this helped.

The smaller the gauge, the thinner the strings are. Usually, people refer to them as "9s, 10s, 11s and sometimes 12s." That refers to the high E string (the smallest one) at 0.009mm thick, 0.10mm thick, 0.11mm etc... If you're a beginner, 9s will be the easiest to play, but you may be better off using 10s right from the start so you can build up some strength. But you don't want playing to be uncomfortable. To be honest, the best way to learn and to gain finger strength would be by playing acoustic guitar

Sounds like you are stringing it the opposite way you should. As you tighten the string it should put tension on the whammy bar. Our guitar turned out great and plays good. Great guitar.

If your finger is injured than I would best suggest you get the low resistance / tension one. Don't get the medium or heavy tension until your finger is back to normal. It will increase the healing process very drastically.

Steel strings. I bought this guitar for a beginner and find that it holds a good tuning for a long time. Would definately recommend for a beginner...

Action is how hard you have to press the strings . This guitar is pretty easy I would say it's medium to low action, it's beginner friendly for sure, I have never played before and I was able to play pretty much straight out of the box.. Hope this helped :)

Surprisingly the strings that come with the guitar are Martin's. They are good strings. If your just learning to play your fingers are going to hurt a lot till u build calases on your finger tips. U can also get a set of light strings so u don't have to press so hard on fretboard till u build up your finger tips.

The physical difference is the thickness of the string. Light are thinner, medium thicker. This means that when they are on your guitar thicker strings require more tension to be tuned to the same note. Depending on the construction, the bracing, strength of the top, bridge, etc. using medium with higher tension could damage the guitar, although any high quality instrument should be built to be OK with medium strings. Medium strings will tend to a louder tone, light a warmer mellow tone. Light will be easier to play.

yup, good for anyone, three things 1) tune it - there are online tuners, smartphone apps, or handheld tuners. but keep it in tune. 2) use you tube for lessons and chords and how to play songs 3) (most importantly) NEVER PUT IT DOWN. practice practice practice. i have been playing for over 25 years and i always have a guitar in my hands even if it's laying on the floor watching TV. good luck have fun, guitars and music has brought great joy into my life.

The pre-strung tension is a little bit soft but still playable, mine got re-strung with a Yonex string by a friend and I didn't ask about the tension detail but it is noticeably has higher tension and felt the increased in smashing power. I heard the normal tension is around 22 ~ 24 pound. Hope this help.

Perfect for beginner! You'll grow in to it, and when you're a great guitar player, you'll have a great guitar that will match your skills. By all means get this guitar, it is awesome!

I would learn on lights .010-.046. That will build your hand strength. Then you can decide if you want the tone mediums or the speed of extra lights

Really depends on how you play (how you strum, type of pick you use). Should get a solid month or two if you aren't rough on your strings.

If you like the warmer less "metallic' tones, you want to go with a med-heavy to heavy gauge (thicker) string. Of course, the type of guitar body (big, small, shallow, deep box) affects this too. I almost exclusively finger pick, which is why I go with mediums. You might look at a Bronze, rather than a Phosphor string as well. The D'Addarios are great strings.

Really depends on your style of playing however medium guage would be my recommendation

I personally changed my strings to lighter ones and soon as I got my guitar, and the strings that come on it are pretty bad anyways. But I don't find it all too difficult to play barre chords, my problem is mainly that this is a big guitar and I have small hands. Love it though :)
