Lighter guitar strings are of a lower gauge, they are a tiny bit thinner lets say. They are easier to play.
They give slightly different tones but some don't really notice it. More bass BIT more sustain and stuff from medium guitar strings as opposed to lighter gauges of string. But are slightly harder to play with.

∙ 12y agoThe difference is in the sound and the thickness. Medium picks are around .7-.84 mm while heavy picks are 1.5+ mm. Heavy picks are used usually for heavy metal playing and jazz because they allow for a more controlled sound and do not tear easily. Medium picks can probably be used for a wider range of playing since they are sturdy and thick but not too thick or too flimsy. Therefore, heavy picks are generally used if someone wants a certain sound or to work in a practical way. Medium picks are okay for anything.
