I've only ever replaced strings on my 3 guitars maybe a dozen times total, but I've only been playing for 2.5 years. WAY easier than whatever the hell I was doing.

3:11 Your E string should be under the string tree to give the correct break angle, right? 😉

For broke guys who have only 1 pack of strings and can’t get more at the moment, don’t cut old strings in half. Remove them by down-tuning. Put new strings : you never know if one will pop at the process

You sure the first wind is under and the rest are over? mostly any other source i’ve seen says the first one is over and the rest are under.
@ConorRocksYT7 ай бұрын
We're talking about the same thing - just worded differently! When I say "the excess needs to be under first, then over", it's the same as the first wind of the string itself being over, then under the excess. Apologies for any confusion!

Okay. I tried changing my strings myself. For some dumb reason, when I wind to tighten them...they get loose. Is it something I'm doing wrong, or is there something with the tuners? Also, the pencil trick is something I've never seen. That's clever
@Courtney_20917 күн бұрын
Can you do just one if one is broken or do u have to change them all?
@ConorRocksYT17 күн бұрын
You can just do one! But, I recommend if they've been on there a while and one breaks, then I'd change the set 😊
@salmarnir9214 күн бұрын
Can you change one string by itself while leaving the others on?
@ConorRocksYT14 күн бұрын
Yup! But, if your strings have been on for a while (over 3 months) then I'd recommend swapping them all out!

I'm so upset I saw this video and it looked simple enough so I took my old E string out and went to replace it with super slinky's, when I put it through the tuners I don't get what to do, my tuners slipped and bit the end of my string off so now it's too short and no good :( please help me someone, I've ordered replacements just because of that one string. I can't get the original back on either

Hey Reuben, sorry to hear that - just checking - did the string get cut too short? As a tip, you should be able to buy single string replacements!

What's your guitar tuned to - and what gauge strings are you using?

I’m ngl maybe it’s because I have a squier strat idk but I can only reason turn tie the string around maybe just 1 1/2 rotations before I have to stop or else it’ll just break this like the 3rd time this week I changed my strings first two times because I wound it too much to where it broke off
@ConorRocksYT28 күн бұрын
Sorry to hear that! Can I check - are you giving yourself enough excess by pulling the string back before winding it (like at 1:29). Also, is it snapping in the same place?

Same happened to me with the squier strat, I gave it about half a fret extra room and seemed to work better. I broke 2 packs of strings before i got it
