Thank you very much for this clear explanation. Using the big wooden bridge model made it clearer. I really appreciate!
I just bought a yamaha G 50a my first nylon string guitar I'm putting strings on for the first time watching your video was very helpful thanks alot for the help. God bless you.
Thanks for the "First hour tuning rule!"
Bruh this helped me soooo much!! I got this same guitar 3 years ago but didnt use it bcs I hated it. And now its C string is broken and I got the inspiration to learn the guitar. Thank you so so so much once again!
I was always taught that you should change strings 1 at a time for any stringed instrument so that you don't change the tension on the neck so drastically
+jimmy long john same here- did that for decades. Now i think that's over- cautious, appropriate for creaky old instruments.
+jimmy long john: Yes, I remember hearing that as well, and would only change one string (or one side of the head) at a time. However, if you ask any luthier, you'll find that this is not true. Go ahead and take 'em all off at once, your guitar does not mind!
yeah, I've noticed changing strings all at once doesn't affect my guitar much, but i did it with my charango (10 stringed instrument) and it took several weeks to readapt. I also have a 36 string harp I was told to change the strings one at a time... since then I assumed it might be in some way the same for guitars
That's correct
actually, my bridge nut fell out when I changed the strings all at once. Then, couldn't get it back in correctly and it needed repair.
it's been year since i had a guitar in my hands, and i have to change the strings on it. this was really helpful on getting back on track. luckly the playing part is not all that gone.
good video.
Just getting into classical guitar and very helpful ! Thanks!!
Service is clean, and with this support everything gets easier.
Good job man. I always use safety glasses when changing my strings, just good habits.

Excellent video! I'm just about to try out some Knobloch Erithacus Medium-High Tension Strings that I just received from Strings by Mail on my Mario Aracama guitar. Thanks very much!
Like the protector at the bridge but if you feed the string bottom up its easier to pick up the loose end and reduces the risk of scratches... Great Vid tho Thanks !
I think I will use painter's tape the next time I change strings.
Thank you so much! I should have watched this much ealier as I have been doing it in my own way for more than 10 years. It sometimes did not work as strings kept coming out.
"Come in through the low hole first." I couldn't agree more.
I will never put my guitar on a hard surface like that without a mat. Also, the use of 'String Ties' makes the job easier and neater these days. It is an inexpensive product.
Getting the stretch out fast. Pull up on the strings one by one. Not like you are trying to draw a bow or anything, but give them a nice steady pull rigth above the center of the sound hole. Hold it for a few seconds. Re-tune, repeat.
I used to manually stretch strings, but now I don't believe it's a great idea because you're stretching the string in a specific, small area, or may small areas. Letting them stretch naturally will endure that it's evenly balanced. You may also slightly reduce the life of your string by manually stretching it.
I just string up and play and keep retuning. Some powerful strumming will really speed that up.
didnt know George Carlin fixes guitars. Thanks!!
Very informative video, thanks.
Love the video watch it for sure
Thx
You really don't need a headstock stand-just work on the guitar on your bed-it is soft and protective. Also, you don't need wire cutters to cut strings; nail clippers do just fine. To secure trebles at the bridge, a good trick is to leave a ~1.5 cm 'tail' on the first string and then wrap the second string around the 'tail'. Do the same for the next, sequentially. It is probably not so necessary for wound strings because they do not tend to slip. Savarez strings have a 'ball' on the end of the nylon strings to help prevent slipping. A treble string under full tension that slips out can 'whip' around and take a divot out of the top of a nice guitar, something you really don't want.
who cuts the strings?? never heard of it before. it's both lazy and barbaric
He made it look so easy 😕
Awesome... I appreciate cha!!!
Thank you!:)
Superb! Thanks a lot!
I can no longer differentiate between the top and bottom holes on my 12 bridge, would it be more common practice to start the string in the hole closest in proximity to the bass side?
All good tips here
nope very bad
Thanks :D
I cant find a any solid info in regardsto how to tie the dyed less wound end.I'm pretty sure that it goes at the bridge but as it is eg 10cm dye/loose, 5cm tight wound and then another 5cm loose dyed.I'm using Saverez corum 550adj
It doesn't really matter, however, we suggest you use the looser end up at the headstock and then once they are on you can just remove the extra. Savarez are hand wound strings so there may be a bit more variation at times with the string but, again, should be fine either way. Hope this helps!
omg i fixed my first guitar string 😮
Very professional done!
where can I buy a string change protector? How can I fix 3 dents on my flamenco? They were string slaps

Liked!
Great tutorial, I've been considering buying a set of D'Addario EJ33 Folk Nylon Normal .028 .045 Ball End. Can I simply cut off the Ball Ends and still use as Tie Ends? I have a '55 Martin 00-18G Thanks!
A better alternative may be buying a set of EJ47's or EJ48s. Same material, similar gauges, with tie ends
Hey is the process at the headstock identical for the other strings or should I do the opposite to get the string closer to the inside of the headstock?
For headstocks in the 3x3 style...The 2, 3, 4 and 5 strings are wrapped from the hole in the tuning barrel towards the center of the headstock, while the 1 and 6 string are wrapped from the hole towards the outside of the headstock. In the end, the bass and treble sides will be mirror images. If you have any trouble visualizing it, look for a picture matching your headstock for reference.
@@StringsByMail Thanks so much!!
like the explanation. What I don't get is why, when someone doesn't have hair on the top of their head, they grow the back long then put it in a ponytail! Yes its 2023, but the back of my head is still stuck in the 60's!🤣😂
he did not show how to wind the treble strings in the headstock
Dos and don'ts to string up a flamenco guitar by ruben diaz,on CZcams
Why do some strings have a thiner side? Does that side go top or bottom?
That is for personal preference reasons. The more flimsy side is to help with making the ties at the tie block if people find it troubling. I personally don't use that side and use the side without because I have more control.
@@jonathancollins9057 Oh! That's interesting. Allen Mathews ("Classical Guitar Shed") says the opposite: if one end of the string has a different texture, use the *other* end to tie off at the bridge. But your suggestion seems to make sense, as long as the flimsy portion is short enough to be completely contained in the knot.
What if we don't have a winder could we just wind it by hand?
Maria Trigo you can but its gonna take much more time
No this would be impossible. just imagine opening a can without an electric can opener,your life would ebb away while doing it
IBIZABIKE That's why we have a hand can opener?
jojo bacilio bald men with pony tails are also pointless
Everyone has one of those.... 😂
John, What do you think about interlacing the ends of the lower string into the next higher string? I guess interlacing them looks cool and all, but I don't believe allowing strings to affect one another makes a whole lot of sense. Not to mention the added problem of doing a quick single string change at a performance.
No, the strings are not affecting each other. But the use of "String Ties" will be a lot nicer/neater.
@@johnlay3040 Whew... I've been waiting 6 years for your answer. Since then, I have restrung countless classicals and have formed other opinions of interlacing strings. I do it as my standard tie these days unless a customer specifically ask me not to, which is rare.
@@guitartec It must be different John.
can i replace nylon strings with steel strings.?
No because the tension on steel strings is too high for the structure of a classical guitar. However there is one set of steel strings made specifically for a classical guitar with a very low tension here it is
www.stringsbymail.com/classical-guitar-strings-1/thomastik-infeld-63/classic-s-series-87/
no, idiot
hey can we insert a metal string in classical guitar or not ?? plz reply
It is not recommended to use Acoustic Steel String or Electric Guitar Strings on Classical Guitars because of the tension. However, the bass strings on classical guitars use metal windings on a nylon or synthetic core, with low tension rated for classical guitars.
None of the regular acoustic strings even though tension should be put on the classical guitar because the classical guitar is a very delicate structure. However there is this one very special set made specifically for classical guitars and it can be safely used on a classical guitar.

your first link is bad - there's an 's' missing in there :-)
Camera was too far away.
i thought the nylon strings is for classical guitar

oh my the people who unlike this video actually unlike it for no reason.
Mohamad Rezuan what?
Does he have a gadget for every action? :v
But complicated 🙂
change all the strings at once for a nylon string guitar.... low tension and it's only for 3-5 minutes.
Didn't know you need batman's utility belt to change strings.
my guitar doesn't desorve that hhh she look like shit but the one you have such a masterpiece :/
No one will used a electric drill to change guitar string stop misleading people
The strings are changed one by one so that the guitar does not lose the micro-bow. This can be noticed by any good guitarist. Moreover, you have to be pretty insensitive to cut it with pliers after all that string did for you ... you can gift it to a friend.
I think I'm the only one who got no help from this video, or any of the other videos out there

too much tools wtf?
using a rope and wood is stupid... Just use a damn guitar and real strings. The nylon strings can have a knot or melted ball end to prevent them from slipping loose. Melt the end BEFORE stringing that string up... see ?
On my screen right now, immediately to my right, is a Cordoba Guitar video, with a wooden block showing the same process!
@@markfreemantle7608 So what ? That proves nothing and I learned to play a classical, re-string one from a college department head and pro classical guitarist...
