How to Restring an Electric Guitar: EASY Step-by-Step Guide

In this video, I'll show you my method for restringing an electric guitar!

I've only ever replaced strings on my 3 guitars maybe a dozen times total, but I've only been playing for 2.5 years. WAY easier than whatever the hell I was doing.

I have been so scared to restring my guitars and let me tell you this was one of the most helpful videos ever! It’s like 100x easier to follow than the fender official video.

Just replaced strings on my guitar for the first time. Thank you so much

I have always been terrified to change my strings, but you explain it really well and I can see it's not so complicated if done correctly. I feel brave enough to try it now. Thanks for this video!

Thank you so much. My grandpa had always cared for me and do anything for me so not being able to adjust his guitar was like hell for me. We tried to figure it out but couldn’t, but your video really saved us, thanks a lot man

thank you so much for the tutorial, because of being paranoid about somehow breaking my guitar i didn't change the strings ever since i bought it 6 months ago! now I changed them no problem and the guitar sounds so much better :) Stay safe! 💫

Dude this video helped much, I changed my strings for the first time a couple months back and failed but then I watched this vid and it helped and I successfully restringed a guitar

[grove-of-gnomes]

Thanks! Was able to successfully restring my guitar.

Thank you for this! I'm a beginner with my first used guitar. The strings you showed in your video worked great too. Especially when I screwed up the first attempt and had to order more 😅

I really need to get that tuner wrench. It was tough without it.

I always thought this was hella hard to do good, if I knew it was this easy I would've done it many more times by now

very off topic but THE GHOST SHIRT IS AMAZING!!

[RetroFoamStudios]

Thank you! I just did my first (long overdue) string change and this really helped

For broke guys who have only 1 pack of strings and can’t get more at the moment, don’t cut old strings in half. Remove them by down-tuning.

Put new strings : you never know if one will pop at the process

Haven't changed strings on my guitar for like 20 years or so. Guess the time has come

3:11 Your E string should be under the string tree to give the correct break angle, right? 😉

[CineSnipReviews]

My guitar string is buzzing after changing it to new string. Also, when I try to tune one string but in in the Guitar Tuna app it shows different string . For example I’m trying to tune E string but in the app it shows G string. I’m so confused

My string broke wrapped around my arm and left red marks and lumps on the 7th step lol

[rinokurin]

You sure the first wind is under and the rest are over?
mostly any other source i’ve seen says the first one is over and the rest are under.

[kevinpflaum]

Okay. I tried changing my strings myself. For some dumb reason, when I wind to tighten them...they get loose. Is it something I'm doing wrong, or is there something with the tuners? Also, the pencil trick is something I've never seen. That's clever

[salmarnir]

Can you change one string by itself while leaving the others on?
