[cutiepumpum]

I tried replacing my old string and as i was tightening the string it broke!

I know i might have tightened the tuner thingy (where u tune the guitar obviously) too far!

Anyways........ thnx for this tutorial!

[mrBFMV887]

i hate it when i break my G string ;)

[Zeprit]

My D string broke, i have to buy new strings, but, if I buy new strings, shouldn't I replace all, cuz it will sound a lil different? (since the D will be of a different set of strings?)

[IIsDaRaiinbow]

my dad bought me this guitar yesterday. i broke the d string. damn.

[PunkkCake]

So, I just bought a new guitar and the E string broke! Coz my dad keeps tighten it up! Shiz. Thanks dad! -.-

[sexypgcityboy]

If the string broken is on the other side, do you wrap it counter-clockwise instead?

[cappicone]

I replaced my G string and now my Balls are much further up

[terranmarine1000]

im such a noob, i was tuning my guitar, the E string, the tuner doesn't response so i keep tightening it, then later on 'bop!' the string is broken, i can't even smile on that day...

[TheUjay]

this looks easy, but i know for sure when i try it its gonna be fustrrating. lol XD

[alissabandaly]

i just fucking broke my guitar string my parents are going to kill me

[mrdag1228]

really helpful

[horsecraziie181]

I have had my acoustic for a few months but haven't really had the chance to play on it, so deciding to get away from the piano and play guitar for once i started tuning it and my first E string just broke. Now I can't get the pin out of the bottom! Tried using pliers, wedging scissors underneath it, knives and it just wont budge. Any ideas?

[shortandsweeeet]

@horsecraziie181 exact same thing happened to me I literally just got the pin out about 5 minutes ago. I got the pin between my thumb and index finger and kind wiggled it out like forcefully if that makes sense? After using a pliers and all thats what got it out! haha

[member805639]

This is the first time I've seen a string being wound around the post BEFORE being threaded through the hole. It makes a lot of sense!

[xuene07]

my first string E broke just when i was finishing tuning. sucks i just got it. oh well

[FiSk4eva]

@xuene07 that happened to my guitar too. 

[LeyanaTouqan]

your video helped me a lot in replacing my guitar string ! I didn't know what to do :P

[RandomPCGuy]

Mine broke when I was tuneing it right after I put the string in lmfao

[kendaljames26826]

thx sooo much

[cherryexplosion27]

dude, my string is off, but it's the D string. the metal string. i'm kind of new to guitars so i'm not sure what to do...

it keeps unwinding from the top where it's attached to the tuning thing that turns.

i sound so ridiculous, but i don't know the correct terms/vocab yet.

[MisterBankz]

I tried to restring my guitar & it ended up looking like that guy's guitar in the beginning lol

[gohangokuh]

thnx a lot dude becoz of u now im very good at fixin strings

[pokadots999]

[Skipper3456]

[MannnnyB]

Thank god, you're truly my saviour from a hardcore yelling session ; )!

[AnonymousNerd25]

How much do new guitar strings cost?

[Musicmoper]

[TheWafflz]

[AngelsBlackWings1]

i have a question for you.

so i've tried to do this myself but with the smallest string but its too hard because i cut myself by trying. so is there any way can prevent that from happening ? i dont want to spend money to just get one string fixed.

[AkashTheBabyIdol]

[LyricsRmyLife]

@Doya89 I totally agree!! I did that too!

[7FridayGirl109]

Oh yeah, odd thing is, I snapped the same string you did to show us how to replace it o.o how odd.

[7FridayGirl109]

I just got a guitar for Christmas yesterday and accidentally tuned one string too tight and a string snapped. Thanks for the video :D Now I know what to do.

[Fayme20]

I got one for Christmas too (my first one ever) and did the same thing. I don't trust myself to fix it alone so I'll probably get somebody who knows what they're doing to fix it for me. lol

[rocketstar03]

Does any body know, how do you know if the string is about to pop, like whats the warning sign?

[allinstrumentsltd]

It may buzz or sound a little dead but usually you cannot really tell

[Kangamazoo]

rebbit.

[iskate40]

get a tuner dude

[CheetahBoi95]

@rocketstar03

rustiness ?

[rocketstar03]

@CheetahBoi95 What do you mean?

[Themarinechaos]

@rocketstar03 IT WILL HAVE STRECH MARKS ALL OVER....LITTLE MARKS THAT ARE DARK

[rocketstar03]

@Themarinechaos Thanks I'm good now, I have a tuner

[yoshi90091]

@rocketstar03 press the string before the nut and if its not bthat stable it might break

[livinglifeishard]

I haven't even had my guitar for a day and I've already snapped a string...oh boy. Thanks from New York!!! :D

[rocketstar03]

I did that too, I just bought mine today, and as I was tuning, the last e snapped, I was like Noo, but I fixed it

[sirianmelley]

Thank you! Now my guitar is all fixed :)

[compalataq]

[zahir1996]
