This is the best video of all. It goes into detail about the bridge pins and the winding pattern. Perfect! Also best camera angles.

I really don't need to watch this, yet I still did. That guitar sounds really great.

Yeah my dumbass was turning the wrong string while tuning and was like “why the hell wont this change pitch?” So naturally I just kept turning it higher and higher and snapped a totally different string.

I've been playing 33 years and I'm still learning everyday, man I wish I'd had all of your videos when I was younger but having said that I'm still learning something on every episode, thanks for the accurate and informative content.

That one over then the rest down has helped so much for tuning stability on my acoustic and especially my Les Paul electric. Great video! Thanks.

Thanks for the tutorial... I broke two of my new strings after changing them and didn't feel like driving far to get them replaced. It looks pretty simple, the way you explained it. I might need experience, but at least know where to start. Subbed.

Thank you, it was very useful. It was my first time replacing a broken string, and there were some very good tips I didn't even think taking into account.

Saved $30 and a week's wait!
God bless you and your talents.

Thank you for the tutorial . This is the best video I've seen for changing the strings on a guitar.

Basic and essential info, yet, I learned something new, after 40 years, not sure if I should be happy or ashamed (both?).

[darrylem]

Thank u for the instructions... Direct and straight to the point. Didn't know about needing to bend the strings before placing under pin. I learnt something... Great job!

that link didn't bring me to a video on cleaning the fretboard, it just brought me back to the start of the chapter in this video about cleaning the fretboard

[DinseeNuffin]
