   Ive been playing between 20 or 23 years (Ive lost track), and Ive never stayed in tune as well as I do after watching this video a few months ago. This is a great video… no fancy crap, just a well-communicated lesson, and good advice. I dont suppose you teach music theory?

   I’m restringing my guitar for the first time, using this video.
   So far everything has worked perfectly, but I can’t get it to go flat after stretching the string, any tips?

   been playing guitar and changing strings for 12 years and this is the greatest method i have ever used on my gibson sg. strings lasted for so long. didnt work so well on my strat though for some reason, had to use a different method for that. i think the thumb rule isnt good when using the fender bullets, etc cause they are shorter i believe and therefore wont have enough slack.

    Hey my dad showed me this method the only thing i do different is instead of doing the three finger thing i bring it to the next machine head

    is there a point to getting that extra 2 mm or so by using ur finger it dosent seem like it would make much difference

    also wat tuners would u recomend for my les paul (Copy) im not rich lol

    love the vids

    Thank you so much for this video. I used to do the other method where you bend the string over itself at a 90 degree angle, but when I tried your method my strings came out perfect! This makes things so much simpler

    @seekah1
    I’m right you fucking douchebag. Holding the guitar with the strings has nothing to do with getting the strings locked you fucking ignorant piece of fag.

    @Exutus He picks it up with the weight, how much more proof do you need its fucking locked??? Also any other locking method leaves space for slippage. This is a no brainer. Geeeez.

    @Desu2009 Trick to that is keep it under tension, watch carefully.

    Just what I needed, Bill! Great tutorial; appreciated. Your approach to string stretching is so fearless and skilled – I imagine it will rub off, but I still cringe when pulling on my low ‘e’. Broken a few too many ..
