  • best video!! I got a question, is the same for electrics? I got one with floyd rose system...

  • @blackstormer95 We have electric cleaning tips too. YouTube won't allow us to put a URL into a comment, but check out our video playlists: One is titled Tips and Tricks for Electric Guitars. There are 15 videos in there. Best of luck to you!

  • Where can I get that spinning-tool to take off and put back the strings?

  • @ChuiBeat What you see in the video is a custom tool that Taylor built from a now-obsolete Black & Decker rotary tool. Threre's a similar attachment for an electric screwdriver called the Spin Doctor String Winder, and some other ideas were posted in the comments below.

  • Can I use the same method to cut of the strings and put it into the post with and electric guitar?

  • @Hansykes94 Lots of different methods; check out our video playlist Tips & Tricks for Electric Guitars -- we have several restringing videos for different guitars!

  • Just to keep up with things like this, I watch as many of these types of videos as possible: This is one of the BEST I've ever seen!

    Thank You for sharing, and to show my appreciation, I'm headed to the guitar store on Saturday, and I will get myself a set, or 2, of Elixir Strings for my acoustic AND electric guitars!

  • I've been playing guitar for years but never known how to put on strings correctly and in a nice way! Now I know (never too late)! Thanks!

see all

  • great tips on both vids this guy is a pro and great on camera teacher

  • what about the trust rod not at the top of the neck? it's on the bottom of the neck?? how to adjust it???

  • This has made me to always buy Elixir strings. Same with buying Taylor guitars. Martin just isn't as up to par with their guitar maintenance videos.

  • super learning video of the best type. fast, direct, clearly educational and well presented!

  • 20 seconds to tune the guitar... You're the man !

  • Is it true that you have to loosen the strings before you adjust the truss rod ? Mine is an Ibanez and not Taylor

  • After you adjust the truss rod you need to let the wood set for a day.....

  • Your tips are the best I found so far, but your tuning technique really caught my attention, please teach me at least the basic of that tuning. please...

  • Shitttttt, i cut my 4th string wronglyyyy. It has too little winds now...anything bad'll happen?

  • Great presenter. He should get a raise.
