So I changed my strings this way and now I ended up with fret buzz =/ Any suggestions???

[FruduaTv]

@Genera1Smok3 It hasn't been the changin but the gauge you mounted which is most probably different then the older one (or another bradn of same gauge strings which has a different tension). did you mount a lighter gauge? Check out the truss rod you probably has to release it a bit.

I've reached this conclusion after I have tried to mount the whammy bar and move it so as to create that tremolo effect, but the whammy bar wouldn't move so I stopped for fear not to damage anything.

Anyway, I need to restring my guitar and I was wondering what I should do - is it ok to use the sae method you've shown in this video? (except for the higher strings, which would probably have to be mounted just like the thicker strings, I suppose)...

Could you please help me? :)

@mikeKIdLazy If you mean to use the tremolo see my video how to "How to keep your Strat tremolo in tune". if you don't mean to use the tremolo see the other video where I string and tune with the LP guitar

hmm, I don't understand I thought if we mount we do not have to do any wraps ?

[FruduaTv]

@coolmega33 just a few as shown.

Very well explained and informative, I wish I had this knowledge 15 years ago, but better late than never.... Thank you

[klepetar]

this is the Bullshit bullshit bullshit anal "i know everything' way to re-string a guitar...It's so much of a pain in the ass to remove when changing afterwards. .. gawd , every tech that stringed my guitars like this would have an earful.. my way is more simple and the right way. cut about the lenght of your pinky, put it in the hole, string one turn OVER the hole and the part sticking out and then string the rest under.. that's it..

[usalespaul59]

I normally cut that extra string portion BEFORE I start winding the string, it's kind of dangerous for the eyes to have that wire swing around...

Thank you for these great videos. You are a very talented and knowledgeable guitar teacher!

Hello, Mr. Frudua, and thank you for these great tutorials! However, I've got a question: in this video, you show how to tune a "Gibson style" guitar with that kind of headstock. What about a Squier Bullet Strat, which has a different headstock (by the way, I have a bridge that allows for tremolo use, but I've never used it and it seems it can't even be used, since the bridge is screwed tight into the body, so I guess it's... fixed?).

@coolmega33 its only one wrap once tuning it will fall in place
