If the guitar is a classical guitar you’ll want to stick with classical/nylon strings. If it’s a steel-string guitar, I tend to hear the most positive things about Elixir Nanoweb and D’Addario XS. I started using the Elixirs and then switched to the D’Addarios and love them. I change them every 2-4 months (and play ~20-30m most days).
For beginngers, I’d suggest starting with ‘custom light’ or ‘extra lights’ which will be easier on the fingers and then maybe work your way up to the lights.

Nice job on this Braden – love that you incorporate the solos – that’s super tricky. Sounded great. I got a basic looper a while ago and this is the first thing I played when I got it plugged in. Laying down the chords and then playing the opening solo over and over and over (I still haven’t learned that second one…)
Rock on!

Thanks so much Braden – this was more tricky than I thought it would be so it’s really nice to get the kind feedback. I need to learn some other songs in open D. ! Hope you have a nice week and get in some good guitar time!

Wow – thank you so much for the kind words and I have been inspired by so many here I’m humbled to provide inspiration for others. I first heard this song on a live recording of Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers 20+ years ago and must have listened to it a hundred times (and where I stole the middle verses from).
I didn’t know it had additional verses until I decided to learn to play it a few weeks ago and found the all the other versions and lyrics. 🙂
Here are the full lyrics I found and used as the base: https://www.bluegrassnet.com/lyrics/gamblers-blues-st-james-infirmary
Rock on and I hope you enjoy learning and playing!!
