REST IN PEACE CLIFFORD LEE BURTON - 1962-1986
Your left hand goes on the neck and your right hand strums the strings.
Stevie used Fender amps, amps created by Charlie Dumble, a Texas amp builder, and played Fender Strats. He called his recording studio amp setup 'the wall of doom' because there were so many different amps, and he kept his amp tech busy , as he stated, cause there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't have one blow up. His legendary sound also was created by his noted use of heavy gauge strings, not of the typical 9/42 or 10/46, but something like(trying to remember)12?/62 that coupled with his mid boosted sound presented a sound, like Stevie, was larger than life itself. He displayed a ferocity onstage, a true passion for the blues. I remember reading an article about his 'skin patches', where he would put super glue on his fingers and apply them to his forearm to literally 'patch' the tips of his fingers. He had finally come full circle, exorcised his demons, embraced sobriety, and was in the prime of his life, when it tragically ended.......RIP, SRV.......Tom
A Winchester 1887 10 gauge. The same type as in T2
Really light gauge strings. Like rubber bands, I am told.

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/michael_schenker_shines_on_new_album.html He uses .009 gauge strings. The brand I don't know
Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
There is no "correct" gauge for guitar strings. Use whichever gauge is comfortable for you. Higher gauge strings will ring louder and longer, but sustain and volume aren't as much of an issue with electric guitars as they are for acoustic guitars. If you're really unhappy with the sound of your current strings, try another brand or move to a higher gauge once you build up some finger strength.
Jaco used Rotosound round-gauge strings gauged 46-63-80-102, but it would be easier to get them in 45-105 gauge.
Hendrix's strings of choice were light-gauge Fender Rock 'N' Roll sets (gauged .010, .013, .015, .026, .032, .038)
high gauge to get a better sound at dropped tunings.
Yes. It will change the tone of the guitar. Heavier strings tend to give you more of a rounded, bubbly sound whereas lighter gauge strings will give you a sharper, crisper sound. Jazz guitarists tend to use larger gauge strings whereas shred guitarists generally use lighter gauge strings. That is just one example.
According to the Ernie Ball website. he uses Power Slinky. 11-48
Guitar string gauge is a personal preference. However, for heavy metal you will most likely want to use a lighter string.
I do believe they were John Pearse medium gauge phosphor bronze strings on the acoustic. Which was a Yamaha red label something or other. hope this helps.
