[GunsNRosesFan710]

[whonut]

Look at the pack mate. Strings are labeled in gauge. i.e. 10-13-17-26-34-42.

thinnest e up to thickest E

[Bautonman]

well what I really wanted to know is how to remove the pegs without damaging the guitar orthe pegs

[bluedvr2005]

what's a peg winder?

[quez4040]

If you break a string....Change all the strings not just one....it'll sound like shit if you don't!!!!!

[xurxo12]

why?? cuz of the dif between the new ones and the old ones will make'em sound out of tune anyway even if u work hard to tune all the strings right??

[perrygill27]

sure but can't afford....

[2und2sind4]

well doesn't sound too bad really.. i mean it won't sound as good as it could but if you don't want to buy another set of strings

just replacing one single string will do the job aswell

[me2u66]

xx

[hick182]

if that did't help any 1 there stupid

[chocotastic1]

I was stringing my Jackson (electric) and the damn nut popped off!!

should I keep trying to string it and the strings will hold the nut, or do I just take it in to be strung?

[marti828]

[RicorianGuardian]

thanks this helped a lot. it would have helped the other people too if they had functioning brains and could read books without pictures.

[esotericfilms]

[rockstar1888]

uh no it not it helped me alot

[sureseg]

this doesn't help at all

[iLoveJoeJonas28]

yeah for real man they suck at makin tutorials

[pyrrosdimas1245]

i hate expert village, it's such sh*t.

[lamborghiniboy10]

i know does not help at all

[chakolo]

erm...it didnt tell you how to stretch the string. if u dun stretch it, when u play the string will be out of tune.

And turning some turns around the knob is not the best way cus it will leave a slag that is unstretched resulting the string being out of tune everytime u play

:) hope this helps

[MattyEstates]

i cant get the G string's peg out.you should have played the guitar at the end of your video. reply back or message me as soon as posible

[azzan360]

can som1 help me? My e-guitar's 6th string has a small cut/bump, i dunno how i managed to do it but when i lay that string from the bump and above the sound gets ugly and out of tone, do i have to change the string, or is it somthing else?

[deonposey]

anybody kno where i can get some guitar strings.

[wdywoodpecker15]

After I watched this video I changed the strings on guitar. But the second to the smallest string does not sound right on my guitar (even after I tuned it). It makes this one weird sound like it is vibrating in a way it shouldn't.

[TySlipknot666]

it might be touching one of the frets.

[wdywoodpecker15]

It isn't.

[TySlipknot666]

ive been wrong before. ^^

[slimloco3]

did you stretche them a lil before you put them on

[my3user3isnt3stupid]

try moving the bridge up higher it might be vibrating weird on the frets,or when you put it on it could of overlaped another twist\string

[wdywoodpecker15]

i'll try that

[TyrantProductions]

lol g string

[SeraphSilhouette]

Camera man should be close up at the machine heads not showing the whole guys body..

[Fabyo222]

its crazy bad ass fucked up

[wdywoodpecker15]

Do you have to use the peg winder?

[adivinaquiensoyv2]

no, it's optional

[wdywoodpecker15]

good

[mattmgmhs]

get a peg winder. Its probably the best 2$ you will spend. It will save you so much time and grief. After your first time turning the peg 1000 times by hand you'll be sorry you didnt use a peg winder. So take my advice and get one.

[wdywoodpecker15]

:) When I bought my strings the owner of the music store threw in a peg winder for free.

[djcow111]

nice earings!! take hold of your balls and snip it!!!

[THESONARIAN]

Very helpful ... I have changed many strings ... they way you did the top was much better ... thank you ...

[luke23waltz]

hey same guitar as me

[cutelisa91]

i barely broke my string n i was confused how to change it!!then i remember YOUTUBE!!!hahaha....

[jeangrey123]

can i ask if i buy a classical guitar am i be able to change the nylon string to a steel string?

[wdywoodpecker15]

I was wondering how to change the strings on my guitar. Are ther more then one type of peg winder or is there only one type? Because I don't have one right now but if I buy one then I'll want to buy the right type.

[himynameiskevin2]

they're all the same

[downhill240]

Thanks dude. I just got my guitar three months ago and I was dreading the first change. No more!

[Shogunelite]

Word

[TheAwesomeCj]

[akuskispyno3]
