I've been using this video literally for 10 years every time I need to restring. Doesn't get better than this.

This video is by far the clearest tutorial. Excellent closeup camera and no distracting awful background music. Thank you so much.

Excellent. This is clearest restringing video I've seen - doesn't make it unnecessarily fancy. Well done.

I’m a native New Yorker here, but due to your accent, I want to say: Excellent Mate! Spot on! I’ve seen numerous tutorials for this and yours is the best one ! I belong to a group of musicians from Cornwall ( nearLondon ) and we play once a week or sometimes every other week . Thank you .

I love you man. Not only did you upload the first restringing video that made sense, you uploaded it in quality better than 240p. Seriously, I don't even know why D'addario has their videos up. I just hope this restringing lasts because your way seems a lot shorter and simpler than theirs. Either way, cheers.

I was having some trouble at both ends really this simplified the whole process. I've done hundreds of steel strings but never a nylon so it was a challenge at first. I do like to tuck the excess string at the bridge under the bottom side of the next string over. Also I use two wraps on the on the E A D strings at the bridge and Three wraps on the G B E.
