Quick tip - change the 1st and 4th or 5th strings first and tune them. Then change the rest. This will help ensure your bridge is properly placed. Also check tuning at 12th fret to see if it’s super flat or sharp.

Thanks for sharing this! It’s something that all of us should know how to do. The tips about stretching the strings, turning counterclockwise, and how much should be left on the pegs are all things that the average person simply wouldn’t know. Much appreciated. Thanks!👍🏻

First timer here, and I can't show you the tangled mess I made on my own, thanks so much for this video!

I always replace one string at a time rather than taking them all loose and having to deal with the bridge falling over. Seems to work much better...

Thanks, this was very helpful! All the other tutorials were long and confusing.

just restrung my old 60's banjo with the help of this, thanks!

My new 6 string banjo just came in the mail today right after work 20 minutes ago and opened up a whole new world of frustration. I already broke a string by tuning it too tight while the strings were all flopping around and loose. It's a beautiful looking resonator banjo. But it so far it cant handle being tuned to a respectable level level. It might be good for some form of discordant noise rock as long as I don't really get into what I'm playing.

what is that lovely banjo tune just before you start talking?

Actually a lifesaving video/ banjo girl

Very helpful video, I'll definitely use this in the future

1:39 i don't have a banjo, might be getting one for Christmas, but from mandolin experience, i don't recommend taking all the strings off. I'd take one g and one e, put those on, other g, other e, one d, one a, so on so forth. Just so you have another string to tune it to. And I don't like adjusting the bridge position. I like raising it for high action but can't do that with a banjo

When you order Owen Wilson from wish but he can string a banjo now

when you really want the Justin bieber haircut but you're 50

thank you. clear instruction.... yeah, that’s the ticket....

I really dont like how many times the string is wrapped around the tuner, it should wrap around more than once or twice…

0:26 😂😂 "tones of Les Pauls, I got a banjo😂😂"

I forgot to mark the bridge...crap

Jim pankey has a good vid

Background song?

Nice Tiescos in that shop!!

Threading pattern for the 5th string?

Tried flipping the tail piece up and it's super hard to move. I moved it, but it wont go back now. Completely bent and I'm gonna bend it back, I really don't think I did that right

Cannot see the bridge because you have your hand in the way it's the only thing I really wanted to see

I literally don't have a lid over the tailpiece. I just ordered this banjo and am a beginner. I am familiar with acoustic guitar tuning. Anyway, I need to know how to get underneath and no videos out there to help. It's a full size, 5 string valgoa?? Help

My tail piece looks drastically different than any video I’ve ever seen. I don’t have a hook for my 5th string.

You need to make sure your banjo is properly intonated before you draw your bridge position marks. Otherwise you're just putting your bridge back in the wrong spot.

Graphite for the nut?

Welp… I already f’d up and dropped the bridge 😂

I watched this and keep breaking strings. It doesn’t work for me.

What brand is that tuner he is using? That things looks awesome!

Y’all didn’t even number the strings where they go wow

Ron Jeremy plays the banjo?

Unless video.. no mention of what strings go where

That hair...

Man loosen them boys properly and don’t cut em, that’s a new set of strings for the player that’s down and out, always save your strings if they’re not broken! Heck, might break one and need a quick replacement, think of it as a spare tire

Nah. Tune up a tone. Have a ciggy and a brew. Come back, tune up and you are ready to pluck.

blah blah blah for the first minute... Seriously guys - if you are going to put together an instructional video, how about getting straight into it instead of wasting everyone's time.

This did not help at all. I mean common sense. Anyone can know how to put on a string. What dand string goes where that's the issue
