Not too butt in, but heavier guitar strings are not better,
they are just heavier.  In general, heavier strings are for
rhythm players.  Most lead guitarists prefer a lighter gage
because they are easier to bend.  If you ever get a chance

SRV's hands.  They're huge.  Muscular, not slender, and
definitely atypical for us mere mortals.
