[@michaellipken9726]

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

[@justshen2879]

I’ve stopped playing ever since I did and my parents started questioning me but I was too scared to tell them that I snapped the string so they just gave up on it lol I wanna start playing again tho so I might have to ask my dad for help

[@yiny4ng275]

[@ej8071]

Miss Mix whaaatttt,,, a string is like 1$ u can buy at guitar store or music stores, sometimes in school supplies

[@justshen2879]

eamonsterrr I don’t have any music or guitar stores near me. But luckily I brought spare strings when I first bought my guitar. I’m also very happy to announce that I got my music teacher to help me replace my snapped guitar string and I can now play some of my favourite songs!!

[@henriarm367]

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

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..

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 ...😅

at least she tried

[@stephaniehavoksen1761]

That’s actually really nice Aw

[@xDropShots]

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

OMG SAME I was thinking that it was getting too tight too, but I kept following the app. Stupid 🙄

Same happened with me 😭😭I trusted too much in this stupid guitar tuner (App) it was just 4-5 hours since I brought the new guitar hehe well I'm an beginner 😅😣feeling much better after reading comments so YES I'm not alone 😂✋lol

[@silverag3646]

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

[@gowasu6562]

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.

[@supahotnoodlesapx9588]

Gowasu they most likely are talking about the high e string but some people refer to it as the lower since it’s, well, lower

[@jj-tk2fq]

Ksheel Shetty that’s what just happened to me 😢😢😩😡

[@goldenfantasy9251]

Yeah for E accidentally popped it-_

[@blueser100]

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.

[@gabbieviney2704]

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

[@l4vinm4n6]

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

[@CameraLady23]

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

I can't pull my bridge pin out no matter how hard I tried. It seems like it's stuck there. I'm kinda scared that if I apply for more force the guitar body might break. Someone help

[@IfUfindthisURlost]

Yes, they need to be really jammed in, so the string doesn't give while tuning. To get it out you might try two different methods. One, is where as well as pulling on the pin, you also pull on the string, for extra leverage. The second way, is to loosen all the strings, so that you can get your hand inside the guitar body, to push the pin up from the inside, (just make sure it is the right pin you are pushing). Hope these help!

[@ioodyssey3740]

@@IfUfindthisURlost Do not pull on the string if you don't want to destroy the bridge plate! Pushing from the inside is a good idea. The pin does NOT hold the string down. It keeps the ball end pushed aside so that it anchors on the bridge plate.

[@nabadas5471]

its so nice and easy to learn from you sir

[@username.exe_isnt_availabl8532]

Does it have to be a specific string? So if my lower e string breaks ,for example, would I need a string that’s for lower e specifically ?

[@raiden1425]

yes sifferent strings have different thicknesses and they are the only ones who go withthe right string meaning u cant use a g string for a string etc

Just try. You may waste a pack of strings or two when you first start out but then you'll get a hang of it and it'll save you money in the long run (instead of taking the guitar in every time the strings need to be changed and being charged $20 or whatever) :)
