  • We take off the old string? So the fact that I've been overlaying my strings is bad?!

    That's why no one else has a 42 string guitar!

  • @Tysoncomedian that's odd, usually black guys when they are born, they have a electric guitar at the other end of the umbilical cord.... aaah the times they are changing

  • @slammajamma8 maybe you should switch to windchimes mate.

  • My string pegs wont even go in the guitar. What the hell, someone help please i need this for school

  • Just bought a 'beginner's guitar' in the mail... couldn't 'tune' the last steel string... brought it to a friend for my first lesson and he said it was way too tight, that something was wrong with the way it was gliding the frets or something, so even using an electronic tuner he couldn't tune it for fear it would snap and the unit itself was defective. So I went home and tried to re-tune it and sure enough it snapped and cut my finger, at least it wasn't an eye, praise God. TY for video/demo!

  • good video dude

  • @CrazyClownMilitia U didn't leave any slack for the string! Also when u put the string on play it, to make sure it's not to tight

  • Thank you a lot, this really helped me.

  • @hardcorejoey88 5 months too late.

  • @Official510 the video is called "How to String a Steel-String Acoustic Guitar FOR DUMMIES" so no need to be a smart arse

  • Thanks! I am a black dude who has no knowledge of guitars. My son wanted his to get new strings. I was able to follow this videos instructions and it made it easier.
