When Should You ACTUALLY Change Your Guitar Strings?

[MusicisWin]

When's the last time you changed your strings? Be honest...

Most times I can't hear tonal differences when they're played back to back, but with this, It was really noticeable

Changing strings has always been a somewhat meditative session for me. Always calmed my anxiety.

I actually love changing strings. I use the time to reflect on what I've learned with the old ones & where I want to go with the new.

I love the diversity of Tyler's content. He has a video for every player whether the video is analytical for the most seasoned players, or changing strings for those who just broke a string. Keep up the good work, Tyler! \m/

I absolutely love locking tuners. When I ordered my first custom guitar, I had those babies installed and since then, I got them for all my guitars. It saves so much fidgeting on my part.

Joe Satriani is quoted on Ultimate-Guitar as saying: "I only ever do it when I have to. Very often, my engineers will go, 'What the hell guitar was that and why does it sound so funny?' And I'm like, 'Well, the strings are four months old, and I didn't bother changing them before I played that solo.'" He added, "But new strings can be a problem. They can be too bright. You know what? I haven't changed my strings since December 2014."

I with Joe on this. 😎

Perfect timing Tyler! Changing strings was my "project" for the day. It's like you're in my head.

Bro, I’ve literally watched all your videos in about a week. Love the channel! So many good laughs. Thank you. Keep it up!

I'm pretty amazed at the timing of this video. I popped the high e on my les paul and need to fetch new strings. Since I'm a dreadful owner and I don't typically change my strings until one of them breaks, I constantly need to look at videos on how to properly wind strings around the post. Except for my JP70 which has locking tuners.

I like the "Z" bend method - simple, clean and effective and makes changing the strings a little less time-consuming (not to mention, lowering the probability of poking my finger with a string and bleeding all over my guitar... which almost invariably seems to happen every time I change strings, regardless).

It's amazing to see how much your channel has grown. I subscribed when you were just over 400K and you have over triple that many followers now. Really awesome to see someone with your passion succeed!

The solo at the end was one of your best in a while. Felt like it had real energy behind it. I'd love to hear more stuff like that from you

[Jimjolnir]

I like the sound of new strings after they've lost that initial twang. After about a day or few, depending how you jam. I currently use Fast Fret (infrequently), I've used Dr. Stringfellow (infrequently), too, with the same results. BRING BACK THE RUB-ON APPLICATOR TO THE BOTTLE. Both help keep the grime off. I don't use these products often, maybe once a month. I like worn in strings, I pretty much only change strings when they break (and then, depending on the break I might repair the string).

Such a simple video but after playing for almost 30 years some of the techniques I've seen in this video I never knew so cheers to that.

[scottspaldingofficial]

As a long time guitar player, I've changed countless sets of strings but I still enjoyed watching this. The end music was AWESOME! Was great hearing and seeing you play!
Thank you 🤘

[Shockme]

I literally find myself watching your content every day and through all hours of the night lol! Love your content bro. Whenever I doubt myself when playing I turn on your vids and it gives me the spark to pick it up and keep playing bro. THANK YOU!

I bought a second-hand 7 string when I was 16 years old, I thought it was the standard humbuckers (the mid-90's Ibanez 7300's were known for cheap electronics, probably because everybody changes them out.) When attempting to tune it for the second time the g-string kept going out, eventually it snapped, flew back, and went about an inch lengthwise into my finger, I learned a few things to watch out for from that, amazing how well that sticks out in my memory.

[luvmuppets]

I don’t like kinking my strings after I feed them through the post. Sometimes the string snaps at the kink point. I feed them through straight, and they will naturally coil around the post as I turn the peg.

Thank you for this video Tyler! I've been looking for something to help me understand how to change my strings, and this really helped.
