  • why would u restring your guitar while its plugged into the amp??

  • DO NOT TAKE ALL YOUR STRINGS OFF OF YOUR GUITAR... IT WE'LL BOW THE NECK - causing your fretted notes to buzz!!!! start from high E (thinnest) to Low E (thickest)one by one...tune to the next string (1st to 2nd string 5th fret, 2nd/3rd string 4th fret, 4th/5th string 5th fret 5th/6 string 5th fret...work your string in, they will go out of tune for a couple good practice and settle in....And most importantly BUY A DAMN TUNER!!!!! high E B G D A LOW E

  • ive only done 1 string but its loose but in tune at the top is this bad?

  • finally it took 6 videos to get where i wanted to know.

  • thanks for the video, hottie <333

    okay I stopped LOL

  • are you supposed to remove all the strings? :S aren't they still supposed to be on to maintain tension between the bridge and the neck? also why did you boil your strings?

    (i'm not criticizing, i'm just curious)

  • hey friend did not take off all the strings one by one

  • Good Tutorial. But it's a good idea to keep the old strings on while replacing the new ones. This keeps even tension on the nut. I cracked E string nut slot when I put it on as you did, without leaving the old strings on..

  • you can also just cover all the snares on the 10th fred, and jank hard for a few times, that can make the snares loose;)
