  • I am glad I wasn't to prideful to watch this video. Thinking "I know that..."

  • People make fun of this, but this is what will make or break you down the road. Screw it up, and you'll be fighting your guitar everyday. Do it right, you will forget about it and focus on more important things.

  • Glad I can tune well by ear, but the stringing-tips were very useful for me. Stupidly enough, I'd been using an almost similar stringing-technique on my classical guitar since - like - the beginning of time.

  • Dean. First thanks for the tips. Question:do you ever when after changing strings check for tuning at the 12th fret harmonic and also the open or just the harmonic?

  • Extremely Simple. Extremely useful. I'm actually glad of coming across this. God knows how many times i've screwed string changes!

  • Does this same process work with Acoustic guitars as well?

  • Really well made strings don't need to be broken in or stretched. Dunlop brand and Cleartone brand strings play perfect just from stringing and tuning them. (IMO)

  • @maxlamenace987654321 +1 Just learned of the locking wrap from gary brawer's vids. awesome lil' tip!

  • @idlepro no problem, glad i could help someone out :)
