I am currently using the super slinky ones on my electric. So which is best use for metal songs? Is super slinky alright for playing metal?
@
you can use whatever you want but if you solo a lot then lighter strings will be easier to bend (9’s) but if you play mostly the Low E and A then get heavier strings it will give more of a metal tone.

if you play a lot of drop d tuning try zack wylde boomers

Yes. Lighter gage too.
Well that is going to depend entirely on your playing style. The thinner the string the thinner the sound. think about it. An electric guitar pick up is a coil of wire around a magnet. The string above changes the magnetic flux and modulates the coil producing your sound. If you have a thing string you get a small voltage. If you have a thick string you get more voltage.
The other thing to keep in mind is that thin strings tend to have a lot more over tones and upper harmonics. while the thicker ones have a much more bottom end.
So do you want to crunch or scream? That’s the choice. I personally I do use the Ernie Ball super Slinky’s as they are a nice compromise of low and high tones.
