I found your tutorial concise and straightforward. Thanks!

Nice overview however the critical part of winding the string on the tuner pole is so quick it is hard to follow how the new string is positioned on the tuner so it does not generate any slipping later on.

[@nhanlai6063]

Thank you for your instruction. It's helpful

The ball slot should be parallel to the string. I remember someone showing how this improved tuning stability. Also, what's the point of cutting the strings by the bridge? Just unwrap from tuner and pull through.

I think there my be a faster way. I saw this on KZbin recently. Set the tuner so the string hole is at a right angle to the neck. For the three bass strings pull the string tight and against the inside of the tuner post. By hand, wind the end of the string twice anticlockwise around the tuner post. Hold those two loops in place under the hole in the post while inserting the end of the string through the hole and pulling it taught. Tighten the tuner from the button to bring the string up to tune. Cut off the excess string. Repeat for the treble strings but wind those clockwise around the post. Perhaps use more turns on the fine plains. Correct and neat string installation is vital if you want stable and smooth tuning.

I have the same acoustic guitar, very good starter acoustic. Can we get a vid on changing bass strings?!

[@jcyt2023]

Can you do this without the guitar winder and just use your hand?

[@almarkowbender]

Yes, the tuners can be turned by hand, it will just take a bit longer

[@davewinkerson8221]

Why would anyone cut the strings on a pin bridge guitar? Makes zero sense to me.

Conditioning the frets

[@gregarnold1696]

Get Bill Osteen to do it that is the best way 🎸👍

Hi, your tutorial was going so well until the advertisement PG win a guitar, blocks the exact moment where I have difficulty on the screen. I don't understand why, but I can string the E,A,D without a problem, but when I go over to the other tuning knobs, I get confused. Once I thread the G, B, e, (individually) do I bend the string now to the left-the outside of the guitar headstock, turn the stringwinder clockwise, making sure the end of string goes over the new string where I would hold it down? Also, for some reason, can you give pointers as when I put on my B, I broke the string near the tuning peg. And when I put on my e, it kept unraveling and was a total crimping mess. Do you have a video that is not obscured with ads so I can see the process more closely. I appreciate your time. Thank you.

Oops! Ha! I thought I was searching your channel! I don’t see my comment so I hope that means it’s going to be checked first and you can delete this and my other one. But thanks for your video it was very helpful for this beginner!!

I can't for the life of me figure why people cut the strings when removing them from an acoustic. You can easily get enough slack to unwind them from the tuner post then remove them from the bridge. No cutting required.

[@MichaelAlvey]

Actually you missed an important point of locking the string in place. You should redo this video and include this practice

[@adiohead]

Nah, I string like in the video, always have.

[@ResoBridge]

Most people do not realise that the taper or scoop on tuner posts is designed to cause the string to friction lock itself in place as tension is applied. You can apply all kinds of knotting techniques, but generally most ordinary tuners perform well when the stings are carefully and neatly installed with only two or three stacked turns, so the string loops around the post can slide and constrict around the post.

[@rectangularcuboid]

What is "acoustic"? Oh, you mean a grandpa's guitars?

[@216trixie]

Dumbest comment I've seen in a long time.
