Just got my Epiphone EJ200 back from my tech with better bridge pins and the output jack repaired, with the D'Addario .011 lights and plugged into the acoustic patch of the new Katana Air EX. THEN playing along to your video on the 65" 📺. Superior sound. Your strings sound close to the D'Addario's, absolutely beautiful with your extraordinary playing and touch. The best part, I learned 2 new songs and improved my E Blues as well. This is one of the best videos I've seen in quite awhile. Thank you for taking the care and time to make it.

Watched this video yesterday and thought the strings sounded great! Thought I’d give them a try, so ordered a set. Less than 24 hours later, they’ve arrived!!! If they play as well as the service so far, they will be brilliant!!!👏👏👏👏👏

Gorgeous playing! Thank you for featuring our DR Rare Strings, part of the original line-up when the company was founded by my dad, Mark Dronge :) Now, I have to get you some Dragon Skin+, our latest string which primes the core to be pristine and we think it brings out the best in your guitar. Thank you again, I was moved immediately with Blackbird

Hey thanks glad you enjoyed the video, I think you have my details if you wanted to send me anything, I think you sent the last ones via 440 distribution in the UK ?

They sound good to me Joe with a nice even sound across the strings. I usually prefer D'Addarrio custom lights 11-52 and have tried John Pearse 10 - 50's in the past but found them a bit twangy at times. I see the DR Strings custom lights are 11- 50 so I've just ordered a set. Being ligher on the bass side may help my aging hands! I'll let you know when I've tried them.

The strings sound great. I recognized the majority of the songs, which included Beatles songs and one from Neil Young. Cheers, Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

Great advice, im guilty of never listening to anything with quality speakers. I truly believe I dont have the capability to hear the difference between the different strings. I have 4 different manufacturers strings on the 4 guitars. As always your playing is sounding great. BEST AND PEACE

I hear you Chuck, fair point you make. As you say it can be very difficult to tell the difference but to have any chance decent speakers or headphones are important otherwise everything truly does sound the same thanks for posting.

Can you please make a video for Eric Clapton's Unplugged version of My father's eyes?

i've tried many, many strings and hardly detected any difference in tonal nuances. Maybe it's because of my vantage point behind the guitar. Very nice playing and choice of songs.

Hey Joe, your playing is wonderful as always. So, these strings are extra light as I see on the label. I wonder how medium might sound. I will hunt for these strings in stores now given that I've never even heard of the brand before. I have used Ernie ball (mpre so on electric guitar than the acoustic one), D'addario and Gibson strings. D'addario is my most used ones given its pocket friendly nature as compared and also I like their quality. I have used Gibson only once, it came preset until it wore off. So, will you be using these ones in your next live show here on yt? Off topic question: how often do you change strings?

Hey, great to hear from you. I did actually use these strings on my previous live show. In terms of changing the strings it depends how much playing I’m doing, but generally each month sometimes longer 2 months , but I do play a lot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

​@@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons Your last show was brilliant and now I see that I have already listened to these on the show. The strings are brilliant for sure. And I think I need to start changing strings a bit more often

Here is a question for ya! Thinking about using Heavy Strings on my D18 (0.14) and then tune 1 full step down. For singing some songs. Thoughts? Done it? I eat Mediums for breakfast so Heavy will be fine… Thank you.

Only one way to find out ! But it sounds like you’ve given it some thought so why not? Give it a go? It’s not something I’ve tried. I can’t even push mediums around.
