@@yourguitarsage i have ernie ball guitar strings how do I put the guitar strings in order
Does anyone else change strings on their bed?
Yes!... But I do pretty much everything on my bed so...
yeah my bed gets really out of tune if I don't do that every now and then
I do
Since I don't have a shop nor a board or neck holders, yes! I do it on my bed. Don't most people do?
I think I will on Monday.
If you just took the backplate off the strings would slide in and out and you'd know that they're properly seated, as opposed to messing with the trem arm and guessing. And if you really only change your strings once a year you should really consider Elixir strings. It would make a huge difference. Now I'm no sage but I know that much.
Always loosen strings before cutting them, will release that tension, and one string at a time sounds a bit better
Should at least loosen the strings before clipping them
Yes, you can. I usually do this as well.
Dude just hold them with the other hand!, so what's the bloody point?
Mythbuster! I was always afraid to take all strings all together, but I trust you in that in 100%, cheers from Poland!
Yes, that's a myth. The neck will relieve slightly, but it won't break the neck or harm it.
+Ajschylos88 I agree with OP. Think about it: Floyd Rose: all strings, super slack at once :)
Thanks allot brother, if you don't change your strings that often then I recommend looking into 'Pyramid Classic Nickel Guitar Strings', they are superior quality and last a long long time. They have a traditionally vintage round steel core construction and not the hexagonal cheap shit they make nowadays, ANYWAYS thanks again =)
Hey nice pic with the guitar in the background.
New to guitars and this is excellent, thank you. I feel more confident about changing my strings.
Always loosen your strings before cutting them that sudden shock will damage the neck over time
And it can hurt your face and eyes, if not careful.
I'm new with electric. Where should the springs be set for the tremelo bar? If i pre-set then all to halfway would that work?
I inherited a guitar like that in the 70- 80's from my grandma. I end up hockey it . I thought it looked out dated and like the other guitars of the 80's. I was a fool. Now i want to buy one just like it.
Wow
You should clean the fretboard before conditioning it. Dirt and grime gets caught in the crevices on Rosewood. Maybe even polish the frets a bit with a fret eraser or steel wool.
Yes. My pro guitar friend and a luthier told to use very fine steel wool. Gentle along the neck, (not against it). Cover the pickups as they are magnetic and you dont want to have the wool dust sticking inside.
So do I need a fretboard cleaner in addition to the conditioner? Or can I get away with some water? I have a rosewood board too.
I always wear a hat when I’m changing strings indoors.
Your bridge is not floating is it? How about a video on stringing up a start with a floating bridge? If it were floating, wouldn’t all the strings change pitch when you tune up one string?
I don't think so
More light needed...no one shows a close-up of the Posts...a clear picture of how to wrap it around!!!!
What's more, he never mentions which direction to turn the string winder - I did it the wrong way! (I should know better as I've changed strings before, though many years ago - but this is supposed to be a beginner video.). He could have picked up the guitar and moved it closer to the camera just for a few seconds to show how exactly they look when there wrap around the pegs.
I've never heard the bit about the bending the neck but have heard about it messing with the bridge. But maybe that isnt true either
13 minutes and not one string replaced yet. Sorry dude, gotta go!
@ 7:23 Still brushing the fucking guitar. Lol
I'm sure he loosened em a little before he cut em. Leave back plate off, even quicker
crap i used real honey!
Hahha!! Oh no!!!!
;)
I dug that doors reference "break on through to the other side!"
I come back to this tutorial whenever I change my strings. Great job man.
+Austin Panzer Thanks Bro....e:)
Tensile isn't a noun. Tensile describes a type of mechanical stress or strength IE tensile stress or tensile strength. Tensile stress literally means stress in a material due to tension. The same way compressive stress is stress in the material due to compression.
Hello. I am looking to purchase those type of tuners for my Stratocaster. What are they called? Vintage tuners or vintage locking tuners? Any info I would appreciate it. I've been looking on Ebay.
Thanks for this! I've just bought a set of D'Addario strings for the first time. I was shocked that they didn't each come in an envelope saying which string was which like Ernie Ball and AFAIK everyone else! You were the one who pointed this out to me. Unfortunately, I'd already changed the top two strings. This means that the second string is in the first string position and the third string is in the second string position! I'll have to remove them and start again. As for stretching the strings, I've never done that before, but it is also in the latest book I've bought about guitars, although I've been playing for years and years. Metal strings, wires, and cables have tensile strength, not tinsel. People can also develop tensile strength in their tendons by practising Wing Chun Kung Fu. This is an alternative to muscular strength.
"I don't know...you don't care". Finally, a real musician on YT!
😂🙏
Oh sorry I had one more question. I just bought a classic vibe Squier strat and my g string on the lower frets sounds like a cow mooing? I mean horrible.
Awesome Video! I've done it a handful of times and picked up a few new things watching this to my surprise. The only thing I didn't like is clipping the strings in the beginning instead of unwinding them. I think it seemed uglier when I did it on my guitar because before I watched this video I wasn't leaving slack when I twist them. So when I went to cut the strings there was that much more tension from not leaving slack. It probably won't be as bad next time since I did it correctly now and it feels ultimately better.
having trouble pushing the strings through the bridge for the second sted. Is this a me thing or is there any tips for this
But is it ok to just unscrew the backplate instead of bending the tremolo. Or will other things still be in the way?
Erich, it's completely amazing to me how I run across an issue, like a broken string on my rarely used Squire Strat, and you have THEE exact video on the exact subject I need with Expert advice on how to address the issue!!!! You need to be the internets one stop shop recommendation for guitar...Period! Electric, Acoustic, Theory, Practice, Motivation...Thank You for being You!! I can't thank you enough!! Fronz
👍🤗
You're a funny guy 🤣👍
You Yanks just crack me up. 37 years hahahahahahaahahahaha bingo bango
Cheers mate! e:)
I'm in the middle of changing my strat strings for the first time . I had no idea you stuck them in like that . I got to do it over now.
Thanks Erich this video was really helpful and I loved listening to you chatter on while I was changing my strings. I just finished putting the darn things on as the vid ended, but I learned a lot of tips and can get on with tuning now. By the way, the casual look is terrific ☺️
Thank you so much, friend.🙏 www.yourguitarsage.com/30
I'm not an expert so i watched this to make sure I don't forever miss an important step in replacing strings. Couple things I'm thinking to do different right now changing my strings is slacken before cutting strings, clean the fretboard, try using the trem bar to stretch the new strings because it's there and use a pencil to "draw" graphite into the nut grooves since I expended all my nut sauce.
😂 Good choice Matt! 😂
Every bit I needed to know; as a completely new owner and hopeful user of a very worn Fender Squier Strat; with a popped string.
After watching the first ten minutes, I went from being very apprehensive about replacing the string myself, to having a go at it; and it works.
I still need a few bits to be sorted out, and then have a go at wielding this legendary Sweihänder :3
Thanks friend! It does take a few times doing it to get it.
Great lesson, wish I watched this before I stringed mine. Didn't get any windings on mine so G string goes out of tune while bending. But after I've stretched the strings it seems to go out less out of tune. Thanks, great lesson!
take the cover off the back and you wont need to worry about using the tremelo arm.
i like this guy tho really, he comes across so laid back. Plus he has cats and cats always hang around when guitar strings are rattling and making noise. My cat nearly lost an eye once when he nose dived up onto my workbench, lol i had a 60gauge string just sticking right out from the headstock nut.
Thanks Radar...careful with the kitties! They do want to be in the middle of it all! e:)
YOu need the camera closer to the the action. We can't see what your doing
What specific kind of Strat is that? That burst looks great! It looks like it has I hint of red. Beautiful!
1965👍
The most entertaining string change video ever :)
Haha..glad ya liked it!
i clipped off too much of the low e string. keep doing this wrong somehow
10-46...or aby 10-42...i dont care, haha. when it is 10*s is always a 46 low e when it is a 9 set it is 42 unless it is a hybrid set witch i use 10-52 or 9-46. I like to use 10's with a 52 för the low e on my V and on my lp but on my strat i like to use regular 10's =) and i always use polish on my guitar becuse it looks nice=) and of course i also use lemon oil for the fretboard=) and my stringbrand is Elixir=)
Nice! Thanks for the tips friend.

Why didn't you just unscrew the backplate beforehand? Thanks for the lesson though,ridiculous as it as I've been playing on and off for twenty years and I'm watching restring videos haha
Thanks?
YourGuitarSage yeah thanks I enjoy your videos,what's the? For?
Not sure? :). Thanks friend.
Oddest way of changing guitar strings I've ever seen - but I'll give it a try what the hell
This is fucking impossible to do
30 minutes later, i finally did it guys
Think I did it wrong 😔
How you doing Eric,? I wanted to ask you what the small screw holding down the b and e strings on the headstock is for?
String trees. Just keeps the higher E and B strings more contained.
I'd definitely take the backplate off. You seem to be creating more work for yourself than needed.
It’s a 65. With a $15,000 guitar, you want to make sure all the pieces stay together. Plus, taking the plate off does not help that much. My others strata have them off and you still have to insert them into the holes in the back.
Listen to 13:08-13:20 with your eyes closed.
Oh my gosh!!! When I opened my eyes, there was a pot of gold in my lap!!!! Doing this again!!!

That didn't happen if you deal more with slots than sl..
I have a 1991 Strat with those same locking tuners. Very convenient for changing strings. What part of Nashville are you in? I am only about an hour and a half away from you down in Tullahoma
I prefer to change one string after the other, because the force on the neck didn't change that much.
Next step is cordless screwdriver for the stringwinder :)
Yup! Those are nice!
+RFDlic The force is strong with your neck!
Use a Phillips screw driver and remove the back plate.
Like Eddie!
cool man
🤓
If you never removed the strings, you could never dress the frets.
Thank you. I dont why people always say "DONT TAKE ALL THE STRINGS OFF AT ONCE!" Like hello? How do you think your guitar gets cleaned? Messy fuckers
I change strings on my lap.
I LIKE ur style.
Thanks, helped me out fast
why not just remove the back plate?
You can do that too
Verbose, cmon man
:)
i like dat kitty 😂
remove the backplate for an easier restring
And most people end up leaving it off. After having my current Strat for 10+ years, I finally left it off last string change. Partially to make string changes easier and faster, plus most of my guitar heroes do not have it on their guitars.
Really awesome video. Really cool guy!
Thank you bro!
Nice tutorial mate, as always! ;)

bingo

Gets it!
I haven't changed my strings in 53 weeks ( since i got my Strat) because i don't want to screw my bridge up .. well i have to now and I hope your video has helped me ! Thanks :)
"I want to put it in just like that up to the ball end". That's what she said. :-) Ugh, wasted my time with the vintage machine nuts....
I used the dining room table. Excellent how -to video. Very useful. I have a Squier HSS Affinity Stratocaster I got last Christmas. Just put D’addario 10-46 gauge on it. About to plug in and see the difference. Thanks again
Thank you Jonathan
This was my first try at changing strings. My guitar sounds great
