yeah but A/you suck B/you probably play once every 10 years...

+Fark I change mine every 3 months cause I'm poor

i change it only after it breaks

Ankit Pradhan I just buy a new guitar.I hate changing strings

I play mine often and have never changed my strings in the 3 years I've had my guitar, except for that pesky G string.. Partially because I lost the sets I had, and partially from fear of breaking a perfectly brand new string again from improperly stringing it through the tuner. Now that I found those sets of strings, I holding off until I can get materials to clean and polish the fretboard and possibly a saddle, nut, and/or bridge pins made from a different material.

Joshua Adams took the words right outta my mouth, no one ever seems to adress this

oh my gosh thank you i was struggling with this.

Another good guide is to use the distance between two tuning posts.

The Fender stringing video recommends 1.5 times the distance between two tuning posts.

Thanks for the tip! I finally reached the age where If can do it right I will!

No more than three chords if you stick to cowboy music.

What three chords?

lol

Chord? You mean moving your finger around in Drop D?

F A C C :v

Maybe they're not broken in yet. Did you do that "12th fret stretch" he was talking about?

LMFAO 😂😂dude you just took some of my depression away... Lol...

hahahaah

Consistency is key. Whatever you do, don't change them now.

*Its not the strings*

Makes me feel better about myself, been doing it for almost 20 years and I feel like such a chick shit everytime hahaha

Yes, same for me. I place a bath towel over the strings as I put them in running the entire length of the scale exposing only the very top where the crank is, and many times even the crank is covered as I crank. I feel it gives me the safe peace of mind as I do this work and especially after the string settles for a few minutes. Not until the string has settled for a few minutes do I start to slowly tune up all of them as I would normally do to check or set them to an initial lower tuning; mine is well below the standard A440 until the strings have stretched for a day. As you can read here, I am no performer in need of a quick change back to the tighter tensions, and only play casually at home. The towel has been great a few time when he first string (E) snapped and I was so glad I had that towel on there. I hate that feel just before it snaps. Had a few of these E and B strings snap so the towel thing is the best.

Same here, same feeling for more than 20 yrs!

That happened with me today.... First time changing I broke one..... I was like stay optimistic..... I continued with the rest... then broke another...... Then with the B and E high (I broke that one) and E low (also broke) i was like nope i will get help from someone 🤣🤣 Feel too scared to even touch my guitar now🥺🥺

Wear safety glasses.

oeee raj!

Raj Singh and

No! You're good, just on your way to Jimmy Hendrix!! You're progressing :)

Raj Singh lol

Right not alone bro! My guitar is burning too!

Exactly why I’m here, don’t change a thing until one breaks. Legit forgot the two methods.

My guitar was handed down to me. I don't think the strings have been replaced for at least three years. I don't intend to until necessary either.

@@freelancernova4364 A little polishing and your comment would make for great song lyrics.

Me one of those.

And the string people really love him...

Its because like some of us we play a lot of guitar in just 2 weeks

I was unaware not changing strings meant you don't love your guitar... I would rather think he must have an unbelievable price discount on strings to have a brand new pack every 2 weeks

do your ears really like elixirs. stringjoy is about to introduce coated strings that are reported to sound better than uncoated strings. in my opinion, elixirs are dull from the beginning. yeah, they stay as new for quite a while, but their as new sounds very, very dull to me.

Same strings I use. Love them!

Lol

Lol its funyy

Joy of stringing lol

thanx

7.01 that's what HE said.

ThomasProz my goodness you guys are hilarious

absolutely amazing lol

I CAN'T BREATHE

no kidding

rrrof711 Yes, the strings still sound good, ever so slight discoloration and still has a good feel to it.

A set isn't too expensive. Some people smoke, that costs money, imagine those people didnt smoke, boom, they can get strings. I have a friend who does both and drinks a lot, god knows how. Lmao

kevo1978 they're like £10 hun

well, only if he's using DR, cleartone, or Elixirs! you can get martins cheap and if you use gearsupply, they make it pretty painless, too.

Wishing I had done this :(

no one needs to get stabbed in a tonal transformation!!

eman kcin me too bro

eman kcin same

Same

High e?

@violet's channel Same. Mine snapped while tuning and it was new...😢

Slap it NOW

@@carlosalmeida2893 davie tho

Ahahah lets have more songs in Drop Q

That’s Open Q actually

And much much expensive

Lol.

Yeah true! I'll try this method next time. Great tip!

@Denis Zolotarski I think he was joking. Lol.

That's the same way I buy Christmas trees.

on my electric I just used to play massive bends over a backing track constantly on new strings, and tune up intermittently. Fun way to get them stretched

Woah

😦

Lol, I went to the guitar shop and the guy recommended me Elixir strings because I change my strings so rarely.

Yep, can vouch for Elixer strings too. They last really well, and easily keep their tone for twice as long as other brands I've tried. I personally wouldn't bother trying any other strings on my acoustics, I reckon they sound fantastic.

But elixir strings were founded in the 90s

Broke a string while playing and could'nt find the end til I looked at the back of my arm.

Kakyoin Noriaki Unexpected jojo

Because it's fun to do man

Procras10eighter 1992 he said its fun. so do what ever make you feel fun, and that's easy and quicker anyways.

He probably does that because he seems pretty OCD, not just changing strings all the time, but making sure there are no old strings laying around. I couldn't count all the shows I've been able to finish because I kept a couple sets of old strings, just in case.

Cutting the strings creates more pieces of sharp, metal trash to throw away so for me, it's easier to leave them whole and forgo the cutting step.

I never cut the strings unless somebody has tied them into unyielding knots. It's much easier to coil them up if you leave them whole.

Never had anyone explain the reasoning behind cutting the strings

@@dontall71 good enough for some of my old clunkers or wall hangers. I change every few years, sometimes !

my thoughts exactly.

It’s a necessity for my archtops to keep the bridge from getting moved out of place

That's the biggest lie guitarists have passed down generation after generation. Can we please stop it once and for all? It's not true, period, plus it's the only way you can properly clean your fretboard , which you should

phreak1118 but how are you supposed to clean the fretboard then lol

@@darymetal , correct! Guitars sit around the factory without strings for months.

+sussezq The Retro strings on my 0-17 are now my go to strings for that guitar. I absolutely love them for that guitar!!! They bring out the warmth and are just a perfect match :-) Glad you dig the video!!!

I'll get those 00000000s down sometime ! !

Thanks!! Don't have a mahogany top yet.. but someday.. when my playing is worthy!

I have a D15m and use both the Retro's and the D'Addario N&B's (12's or 13's). You cannot go wrong with either. Beautiful sound.

I am dying for a D15.. but can't justify the expense quite yet... not been playing long enough.. but someday. Thanks for the info... hope it comes in handy in the future!

Samuel Ze Noob take it back out and try again

Grow up.

It can get a little bit sticky but don’t be nervous

Me too!

To be fair the string cutter is just a pair of wire clippers

Actually--I'm referring to the notch on the tool that removes the pin.

Exactly!

Yup all that stuff works but i like my string winder for the peg lifting because it is plastic instead of metal. It also only cost me like 3 bucks

wish i would've read the comments before trying. Got the 1st 3 bass on perfectly, then tried his method and broke 2 of the 3 high ones...

Why? It's a lump of wood. It will not care.

+David Johnston a little more respect for the guitar

I'm sure Tony knows what he's doing.

It makes it a lot easier to clean the fretboard if all the strings are off.

People need to get undressed to clean our frets too!!!!

Alvin D like mrs kerbople says ha

I hope you're not in Chicago. They'll never catch the perp! Too much snitchin'.

i thought that was just for bass guitar strings? i actually tried that once. i cant say it made a difference.

the thing on his finger is a guitar tool like a pick.

PikaPikachu2 I hope that's sarcasm. If it was, it could've been better. Especially given that it's his left hand. A guitar slide would've been more believable. Now I'm curious on how that thing would perform if used as a guitar slide.

I have changed strings with the intention to clean, then get distracted and next thing you know the strings are back on....Doh!....guess I will clean next time.

hahaha of course i clean my guitar regularly. *laughs nervously*

Maybe you had them in wrong? Or that means your string has a lot of tension

Jo Aey maybe I got a new set, let’s hope this goes better 😄
