  • I had some problems with the bridge of my Guitar and I had to get a new one. They sent me the part and i obviously had to remove all of the strings at once and now when i try the low e string all it does is buzz. should I go to a music store and get it repaired or is there away I can adjust this my self

  • I would recommend that you have your guitar repaired by a good guitar repair person.

    All the very best!

  • hey, this is a bit different but, how do i prevent my strings to be rusty?! my new strings only last 1 or 2 months and then its already rusty. is it because of my sweaty palms? please help me!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is quite a common problem, caused by the materials in strings (phosphor/bronze etc)reacting with the chemical make-up of your perspiration.

    Try (a) different string compounds e.g., nickel silver, bronze, phosphor bronze, EXP coated etc and (b) wiping your strings at the conclusion of your practice session.

    Good luck!

  • hey can this be done on an electric/acustic guitar also

  • Yes, this same method will work for electric / acoustic guitars.

    Thanks for your question!

  • thank you very much this is the only vidio that i knew how to do it good job  god bless you

  • great video --exactly what I needed: I love how you repeat several times, esp when you zoom in at the end. Thanks!

  • Your brittish accent is just purely awesome. And you're great teacher. Thanks.

  • bro you helped me so much ty!

  • @Maestr07th I leave double the amount for the plains But you only need 1-2 for the E and A as there's so much friction there and less problems in tuning more mass. I'm cutting back the wraps and have found much more satisfaction this way. I find the 'Z' tuning much more neater and quicker than this as well. Its cool though, whatever works for you.

  • very clear step by step method, not at all fast so i kept up and fixed my guitar 5/5 !

  • Best string changing video I have ever seen. Thank you.

  • @littlealien123 only if your guitar is floyd rose type

  • @littlealien123 not if u change your strings right away

  • @littlealien123 yea when u re sting...You will want to just take off on string at a time and then re string that one... and so on.
