How to Change an Acoustic Guitar String, EASY!

A very easy method of changing an acoustic guitar string! In this video you will be introduced to two products made by Ernie Ball: their Earthwood Light Gauge acoustic guitar strings, and their Pegwinder, which is used to first remove the bridge pin, then quickly tighten a new guitar string. This is the first of several maintenance videos in which I will introduce valuable tools, and techniques necessary in the general upkeep of your instrument!

Lesson 1 - Tuning the Guitar; Lesson 2 - Replacing a guitar string

After reading these comments it made me feel a lot better about breaking a low e string on my guitar Lol. To be fair I am learning guitar and I over tuned it. But glad I’m not the only one

I haven't broken a string yet (still a beginner!) but this is SO helpful. It costs $25 to get strings replaced at my nearest music store and I'm not about that life..

i broke my high e string years ago im still traumatized

[demohmand]

Beginner here, first guitar and the high E string snapped while tuning. This video is very helpful, thank you for reinstating my confidence that I can do it myself!

Im not the only one who's scared. Tuning is great especially when you do it inside an empty quiet room then suddenly a string breaks. Gives you heart attack everytime

Thanks for the video, it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I just got a new guitar today and popped the e string due to this stupid tuner app telling me to keep tightening it

Guess what my sister did with my guitar's broken g string ?
She made a lovely BRACELET out of it to cheer me up !!! ❤️ How creative of her ...😅

[valkiss]

Yeah this is all fun and games until you start tuning

[roznevynam]

who pops the G string? c'mon its always the lower E

[gowasu]

I remember the time I broke my high e string. This was one when I was a real beginner. I was using an electronic tuner and I was plucking the wrong string lol.

Also the sheer amount of people saying they broke their low e string is crazy. Are you sure you guys aren’t talking about the high e string? Low e string is the 6th string, it’s thick so I really wonder how anyone could break that shit.

“In this case we’ve just popped a uhhhh... g-string” I laughed so hard omfg

Brilliant! Thank you dude! Very simple, and such a short and sweet video. No unnecessary chatting or bs. Very good video :) thanks.

Bruh I just broke my higher E string and that thing flew passed my face thought my neck was gonna get slit but I don’t know how to make it a little tighter cuz my strings don’t have the nail parts at the bottom they’re free like out in the open

Best practice from the pros is to slightly bend the string near the ball end as you insert into the bridge. This helps keep the string ball seated properly against the bridge plate and prevent it from getting hung up underneath the pin and possibly damaging the strings and bridge.

hi thanks for the video i already broke e string hope i can replace my self. When we buying strings lets say from aliexpress which brand you recommend and how to choose the thickness. copper or bronze strings?

[silverag]

Anyone here after breaking their high E string trying to tune it by listening to a tuner in YouTube and slapping you right across the face and hand 🙋🏻‍♂️
