This video shows my preferred method for restringing a classical guitar. I'm using D'Addario Pro Arté Classical Guitar EJ45 Normal Tension Silverplated Wound Clear Nylon strings.

Note: I loop the three higher pitched strings (1st, 2nd, 3rd) three times rather than two times on the bridge. At the head, it's similar as in the video, except flipped in the right-left direction. At 3:28, I crossed the string to the right, then the left. So for the three higher pitched strings, go left then right. It should be easy to figure out.

  • why qare you wearing gloves???

  • @dondd01 The same reason you don't want a cat doing your grocery shopping. I suppose I could have worn both gloves on one hand, but you know what they say about baking a potato in October. Thanks for watching my video.

  • thank you so much!  this is very helpful. I changed my "G string" slowly and carefully ;)

  • @ejj6497 Haha, clever. And you're very welcome.
