Musical Instruments & Recording : How to Change Acoustic Guitar Strings

[elodsson]

Well, i'll have to argue with you.the best way to tune a guitar is not with the help of the tuner.I am not a musician, but i have many musician friends.And they all say, that you have to learn to tune it by ear.That's the best way.And using a tuner doesn't help.The best way is, to listen to the sounds (preferably on another well tuned guitar, and try to achieve those notes. I mean everybody has a friend, schoolmate or relative or somebody, who they can turn to.

@elodsson and i disagree with that. i am not completely sure on the exact statistic... but 1 in every 1050 people are born with an inept pitch location. out of that bunch alone, 1 in every 50 have perfect pitch. out of that group... 1 in every 4 are musicians. i am a well rounded musician. i have been for many many years and there is no musician that can truly beat a tuner. electronically produced pitches and measurements beat unreliable guesses and memories of pitches 10 times out of 10.

This video is full of so much BS. The neck wont bend back just because there aren't strings on a guitar. Guitars aren't made, cleaned or maintained with strings on.

well u can tune it without a tuner if u dont have,first u gotta tight the big string just enough to make a note then u hold it down on the 5th fret and try to match the sound of the string with the string below it as u tightening it and from there on u do the same as u move down on the same 5th fret, but when u get to the 4th string down u gotta hold it on the 4th fret then move back to the 5th fret and match the sound with last skinny string.

I think this guy is a Beatlemaniac because I can see so many Beatles photos in the background.

i find it annoying re-stringing acoustics, because the little plastic thing keeps popping out haha

Of course it is, unless you are a guitar technician.

[Globallnsanity]
