[QUOTE="steve auvache"] <fx: checks card wallet> Roll on June 2012 then. This I need more info on as string noise is one thing that really does annoy me. Which are the quite ones?[/QUOTE] Flat wound because they have fewer ridges. Ernie Ball "Slinky's" are popular, although I prefer the tone of bronze wound and getting your fingers off the strings and back on at a different position quietly is all part of the guitar playing experience. You won't want to use flat wound strings forever either as they lack "something", so it's probably a good idea to get used to "lightly" touching the strings when you move around from note to note/chord to chord.
