Guitar Tension

How do I apply the appropriate power to strike strings of varying tension?

Notice how the tension curve isn’t a perfectly linear distribution.

One can plan to apply a distribution curve across multiple strings, but it’s easier to get to balanced tension to focus on having control over the tone on each individual string.

Having more control, as a general aim, means having control over the tension, the strength and form of vibration, the duration, and the vibrato.

Calibrating these aspects of your playing, consciously, will allow you produce the right distribution of power for the varied tension and gauge of each string.
