D Addario Strings Acoustic
What brand and gauge strings should I get for my acoustic guitar?
Hi, I'm giving my friend my Yamaha acoustic guitar for his birthday and I need to change the strings. He is just a beginner and I don't buy acoustic guitar strings, most of the time I am buying D'Addario .10 gauge strings for my electric. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me a good brand and gauge for a beginner guitar player on an acoustic guitar.
Sorry, I know its the wrong category. I didn't mean to choose this category.
10s are best for beginners on the acoustic I reckon, I used 11s but nothing heavier than that. D'Addario is a good enough brand so, you answered your own question really. Martin's are also a good make. There are I think better strings out there but they can be more expensive.

my g string on my acoustic guitar keeps breaking!?
I have an acoustic guitar and i use light gauge D'addario strings. For the 2nd time in a row my new G string has broken on the first day! I don't understand! could someone give me some help please!
Okay - seriously, I know the frustration of this. When I was starting out I kept busting the A. If it happens much more, you might want to get your guitar looked at, though honestly I can't think of any problems the guitar could have which would not be very obvious (then again, I'm not a guitar repairman or luthier). You're using decent strings, so that is ruled out.
HOWEVER, I can offer you how I got past my problem: I just got better at the guitar. I don't know how long you've been playing but my issue was that I was strumming wrong or too hard; as I improved I became more confident in the power of my strums (read: I figured out I didn't need to beat the thing to get good sound out of it). If you think this could be your issue, too, then what you might want to do is keep a couple extra G's in your case (most shops sell single strings) and just be more conscious of how you're playing.
If you're sure that your problem is NOT what my problem was, then I'm sorry I wasn't able to help and hope you figure it out!
All the best!
