  Regarding strings: I typically use the 2^nd 3^rd and 4^th strings (B,G,D) from a regular-light gauge pack. Gauges .013 .017 and .026 

  D'addario strings are my favorite

  Thanks Charles! What guitar strings do you use for DGD tuning?

  Yes DGD is part of the open G but typically, for the 3 string guitar, folks use the GDG portion of the open G or they’ll use DAD from the open D chord.

  For slide guitar I think that makes perfect sense but for me it just doesn’t fit for rhythm and picking.

  With DGD tuning if you fret on 2,1,2 you get an E chord and you can move that down the neck like you would a barre chord. Also, the chord variations are all really close by for example  2,0,2 is E minor and 2,1,1 is E7 and 2,1,4 is E9

  Trying to easily find these chord variations with GDG or DAD is nightmarish (for me)

  Anyways, hope this answered your question.
