Great! My 6 string guitar recently became a 5 string guitar so this is really helpful.

Damn I’ve been playing guitar for over 10 years and only just learned today what the little nub on a string winder is for. Learn summat new everyday

[Coda]

Short and simple, I appreciate that. I learned a new trick as well, a little bend in the string before you put the pin in.

This was exactly the video I needed to change my strings quickly and efficiently. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video to help amateurs like myself 😊

Your older guitar restring video is how I learnt to restring my very first cheap ass guitar I bought at a yard sale like 5 years ago, I'll always be thankful to that video for where I am now because if it wasn't for that video, I never would've gotten serious about the guitar and come so far with my music skills. Keep up the awesome content man, love your work.

How much slack? Tuner key wise like 2-3 tuners, and 3 for plain?

I'm wanting to put 12-56 elixers on my hd35, will it make the neck warp???

I've been playing for many years using 80/20 & only recently have discovered Martin Authentic Acoustic 92/8 Phosphor Bronze Guitar Strings & they are fantastic! My question is what are Martin "Retros" & how do they sound/last?

Thank you so much my brother has a guitar but I started playing is and accidentally broke a string and now I fixed it thank you so much he didn't even notice

[DrMurdercock]

I was kind of hoping you would be super serious, then go all crazy and smash it or something.

Does it matter how I put the ball end in the guitar? I just put it in flat but I don't know if I should

[TradvetYt]

Can i ask how to buy string?everytime i go to a shop here and buy a set of strings the 6 string are the same especially 1 and 2 they are always the same

[Magpie]

The only thing I'd like to say is, why cut the strings with wire cutters? After they are loosened, a little tug near the tuners and they just fall off. Then you only have to throw away six strings that can easily be coiled together. Cutting leaves twelve pieces to deal with. Yes, I know, not a big deal. Just saying. I've been playing for years and years, and until YouTube came along, I had never even heard of cutting the strings.
Anyway, love this channel. Keep up the good work.

Where can I get that tool in the video ?

[nowazafox]

When I redo my strings I just loosen them and unwind them. What’s the benefits to loosening them and cutting them?

Incredibly moving; it's as moving as a book that explored similar emotional landscapes. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
