How to Change the Strings on an Acoustic Guitar : Wind the Guitar String to Lock it into the Guitar

[JohnnyJ2x44alt]

This is 'village' is truly the expert...at being noobs.

[guitarist2204]

why do you distressing yourself?

[med672]

Expert Village expertically sucks!

[noooblover]

lamo this is the worst job ive ever seen. thats how you kill the beautiful sound of new strings.. an 20 videos??? really???? lol

[hgouhg]

shity instrutions

[Beanbluesfan]

The place where his string is "locked down on itself" as he puts it, actually creates a kink because the string crosses over itself. That will weaken your string and lead to breakage. I change all my strings the Taylor way.........fast and easy. Google it!

[bluegrasssingingman]

LOL don't do it like this. just feed the string in turn key when lead comes to bottom, feed lead under, turn key around again.Then take the lead over top, and turn key. You will see the string pinched between, which stops tuning from slipping. I put 2 to 3 wraps on 6 and 5 strings, and 3 to 4 wraps on 4 and 3 strings and 4 to 5 wraps on 2 and 1 strings.

Wow, you really have no idea what your doing do you? That looks like hell and will deaden your strings...I've only been playing a couple years, that's just common sense...

[doyouhearmeihearyou]

This locking method is totally unnecessary. I been playing for 31 years, and have never had a string slip without this method. I just bent the string on each side of the post and wind two to four times,, It locks its self in place, and much less chance of breaking.

[ZACHyay]

I like it, i used this idea and it was faster and easier than what i use to do...

[qwertyofasdf]

Actually this guy does a pretty good job and anyone who has ever played a strat or any guitar with a non-locking trem will tell you this is the next best alternative to locking tuners.

[1987ETB]

all you people saying how terrible this is why dont you quit naysaying and make a video of the "correct" way. no one needs your useless input if its just negative and you dont add anything helpful

[RaininLuck]

Buddy do us all a favour and stop teaching us. We dont need 20 fucking video about how to string a guitar WRONG. Ive been stringing guitars for a bit now and your method of locking it in is a terrible idea. It sounds good on paper, but when you create loops around the tuning peg it messes the string up. Seriously take these videos off and do it right.

Plus, you posted like 20 fucking videos about how to restring a guitar like seriously, what the fuck?

[TheFinalRiot54]

what the hell is this guy doing?!? what a waste of time he did it all wrong messed up my strings! my e string AND g string BROKE!

[jonno52]

I don't like that method of 'locking' the string. OK, after the next turn, it shouldn't be actively under tension, but by the look of it you still have the string going over itself instead of smoothly round the tuning peg. I've played for 46 years & restrung guitars hundreds of times & never felt a need to lock strings like this.

[supersheepo13]

thank u dude u really helped!!

[meclipse01]

[MattyQStudios]

thanks for giving us a video in 20 parts that doesn't work,and he tells you how to do it wrong, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

[satpatsar]

it's will fucking mess up your guitar...dont listen to him....

[suren612]

use a wire cutter to cut it. try and cut it as close to the post as possible and if there's a little left bend it close to the post because its sharp.

[xiaocurrypuff]

so what do you do with the excess strings?

[terrorstinkt]

i want to kill this guy

[gdsmzroll]

So what do I do with the remaining string?

[w0083e5c]

...cut it off

[KeepthaFaith08]

How do you do this with an electric guitar?

( A Washburn X50PROFE to be exact.)

[gyrofanclub]

so why are you watching this video?......fag

[wayneanderson007]

that will be cool for my gutiar

[gus1612]

enfia no cu

[HaylziiLoveeSinging]

Thanks that tip actually worked :)

[Dontcallmebones]

Thank you! I kept braking the G Sting as I wasnt putting it in right..great tips!

[Kirke182]

Jesus, what a bunch of flunkies on this thread. These are about the easiest instructions there are. If you can't follow these, you can't tune a guitar--quit trying and, most of all, quit whining and have a pro do it for you.

[kccsublime2010]

this guy is an idiot!

[sillyyessi24]

you should teach a rock how to string a guitar that stuff that you teach doesnt even work

[4321Blastoff]

RavenXtech, they have another video for the put-thru part.

[timmzerdude]

ahh! the camera panning and changing angles.... KEEP CAMERA STEADY!

[hawkpanther7]

are you using a string winder

[evilempire96]
