Awww baby is upsetty spaghetti.

I literally put light strings on my mandolin this afternoon. Frankly, I don’t love the lower string tension, especially for how quickly I play, but I’m giving it a shot because I’m trying something else out. I also have a practice technique I stand by that is playing with a 0.60mm nylon pick because it helps highlight issues but I still play with a 1mm to 1.4mm pick because they’re just a lot better for what I do. There is a lot of tone in a pick, and limiting yourself to only something so thin is really just restrictive for no reason.

But to answer your question, you’re not “recommending light strings”, you’re being a huge twat about how your subjective choice is vastly, objectively superior and anyone who doesn’t agree is just afraid. It’s incredibly embarrassing, especially since you’re likely somewhere between 45-55 years old.

You’re just a weird, angry person who thinks they’re special because you don’t understand the very simple idea of people playing different music with different styles and that’s just so, so sad. Being a contrarian isn’t a personality, and I’m sorry you still haven’t figured that out with over half your life already being over but I hope you can salvage the remaining few decades.

No I am not. You are projecting all your stupid bullshit on me.

You don't expect me to read all that shit. I will not.
