I really, really appreciate this. I am a new guitar player, 64 years old, and own a Jasmine acoustic on which the E string had just snapped. I ordered a new set of Elixirs for it today, and had decided to do a good inspection, cleaning and conditioning prior to installing the new strings. And since I do NOT know how to install them properly, this was a good video to watch. Even though my guitar is not a classical guitar, it was helpful to get to see you "spiff up" the frets and fingerboard. I am hoping to purchase a classical instrument soon. Thanks very much.
Thanks Andrew. I just bought a very similar guitar (Yamaha G50A). I've been playing electric for so long and am just basically a beginner with classical guitars and that playing style. I really thank you for showing me how to tie the strings. It's is much easier than it appears with all the loops and knots. Thanks. JD
Cheers Andrew, this helped heaps! I've had a classical guitar for a couple years, and I've just picked it up again - so this was exactly what I needed
Best video ever on changing classical strings. Answers all my questions. Many thanks!
"Change your strings about a couple of weeks before you have to gig" should be an opening statement, I was half-way through the changing when i heard that. Tonight gig will be a blast.
Lovely video,and very clear. Thanks
Very helpful! I've watched about 5 videos now on how to change classical guitar strings, but this video was the most helpful and made sense. Thanks!
Well I've watched multiple "how to replace guitarstrings" manuals and this was the best one. It was quite long (about 15 minutes) but I learned very much.
Great video!
For anyone that was confused, like me, the "Care & Maintenance" handout mentioned in the video seems to be named "How to Change Strings on the Most Popular Guitars." Nice Video. Nice Handout!
The best guitar stringing video I've seen so far. Thank you!
One of the best examples on how to change classical guitar strings!
Great video... I just got an old Classical Guitar from my Brother in law. It was made a long time ago in Romania. It is a Beautiful Guitar and I am glad I found your channel. You are an easy guy to learn from. Thanks!
Really helpful video. I haven't changed the strings on my guitar for at least 2 years and this video not only refreshed my memory but it also taught me other helpful things. Thanks a lot. :-D
Thanks Andrew.I had to clean with a soft soap and water my old Yamaha G-235 from the 70`s before following you step by step. It was like taking it out of the attic.Lemon oil did a great job on the frets (already had it,just like the steel wool grade 0).Quick Detailer did also a good job. Nothing sad like an instrument left there to gather dust.Many thanks again.
Just tried the Meguiars to polish my acoustic - it's awesome!
Thank you Andrew !
thanks man.the quality is very important.In other videos i couldn't see the strings clearly.thanks again
Thanks. This video helped a lot. First time trying to put strings on a classical guitar.
Thank you Andrew for video. It was very well explained and easy to understand.
Thank you for this good video showing and describing how to change strings on the Classical Guitar. Because I don't do this frequently, I always have to refresh my mind on how to do this. Much appreciated.
I bought a seven-year-old used Etude guitar yesterday. It looks like it was made yesterday. I'm going to clean the bass strings and reinstall them. Your instructions encourage me to try. Classes start in September.
Thanks
Thanks for the explanation. I just got myself new strings and plan to restring my guitar for the first time.
Andrew, this was so helpful and professional did it first time no probs after watching your tutorial.... you are a ledgend!
Clear and full of nice tips ! thank you so much for this video
Thanks! That was fun hanging g out with a nice guy.
Thank you Andrew! I Just got my Acoustic last Monday for a nice cheap price. But I have put alot of work into it.. Tuning on and off everyday and having to change the strings. This video really helps. Thanks again :)
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
This video saved me from having someone else do this. This guy is awesome.
It's really useful and clear. Thanks, mate!
Thank you very much for the video. I learned a lot and now have an idea of how to string my previously-owned Takamine 132S. I was using lemon oil to clean the fretboard but will try the fine steel wool as well. The saddle on mine is not higher on one side but now I know why there were a bunch of tooth-pick like pieces of wood under it...to raise it up on the 6/5/4 string side. It has such a beautiful sound so I'm looking forward to getting it going again. Thank you again.
I've been playing guitar for over 25 years, changed strings on 100's of guitars, acoustic, basses, but this is the 1st time I have to check out a guide to change strings, they're (nylon strings) completely setup differently haha.
Good point about the 6th string being wound more to the left since the pegs are in the middle, I think I would've overlooked that and been disappointed
So yah, thanks a lot!
Excellent, very helpful, good diction and descriptive instruction and detailed .
Amazing video, thanks so much. My Yamaha looks and plays amazingly!!
The video could do with having the camera on the other side of the guitar, so we can see where the string is going and what your fingers are doing rather than the backs of your hands.
Hi, I found that very informative. I have just put new strings on my guitar and of course, I can now see one or two mistakes that I've made! Thank you.
thank you very much ! i've used this video over 5 times (cause i always forget how to change the strings ^^) and it's been always really helpful! Keep on the good work :)
Great video!
This helped a ton -- thanks!

Thanks, it really helped me and was perfect. good luck.
Thank you for the info. Great presentation.
Excellent video. Thanks for your help.
Thanks very much for this, I couldn't have managed to re-string my guitar without this demonstration, cheers ;).
I have a G 55A from the 70's and I LOVE it...
it may be just a starter guitar but I seem to play it more then
my top shelf guitars and it's almost indestructible!
+Bongo Fury With music instruments you shouldn't look at the price tag and how good other people say it is but at your personal preference :-)
Thank you for your helpful videos, began playing a little over a year ago, and now I've got a classic guitar, a normal electric guitar and a Floyd/Rose, and I found your videos on the latter and the first one immensely helpful.
I haven't had to change the strings on my classic guitar, though, and sure, it doesn't sound fresh or so, but I like it.
I'm pretty sure you've had to change it since then (11 years), as you probably noticed, they tend to fray, the metal wounding around the nylon, on some frets
Thanks so much for this upload. It has helped alot!
In response to some of the comment about steel strings on a classical, my 1st guitar was a student classical, i got it when i was 5 yrs old, just a normal cheapie 1\2 scaler very similar in design to the guitar in this vid. It has had steel strings on it since i got it and im 32 now and it has not so much even affected the action let alone ripped the bridge off the thing.
Thanks, this video helped a lot!
awesome video mate, subscribed

Thank a lot for doing this mate
Excellent instruction!
Excellent tutorial. I´ve played guitar for some years and definitely got some helpful tips,
thank´s. By the way, I thought I´d check you-tube for some tips before I was going to put on my new strings, thinking i could probably learn something new, this was the first vid I saw and guess what, it´s same model guitar. Nice one.
very helpful video, thanks!
ive been trying to find the history of it is it made from cedar or cedar top
Thanks, very helpful!

Hey,thanks for this video.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. And, ignore the ungrateful comments.
we can't see the knots...
Sok T. I know
We can knot see
S. T. Ikr
Wow... Heavy Canadian accent! Ha!
Thanks for showing the string spacing on the tuner end. So many of the other videos I've seen ignore this. Good job!
great info thanks man. i was worried that it was going to be difficult. :)
The fire danger of boiled linseed oil is generally caused when rags soaked in BLO aren't disposed of carefully. What happens is the oil oxidizes on the rag and that causes heat and the rag can catch on fire. I've done quite a bit of finishing and refinishing in my 67 years and I prefer oil finishes (Tung, linseed, etc.). Long ago, I put a rag I had used with BLO in the garbage. A couple days later, I saw smoke coming out of the garbage. The rag was so hot that it was about to catch fire. Lesson learned! I now lay rags used with linseed oil outside far away from anything that can catch fire. I've never had one heat up like that since but I know from experience that it can cause a fire under the right conditions. BLO is great stuff! Just be careful with any rags soaked in it.
Another thing: You are absolutely right that fine steel wool won't hurt the frets when used across them. That's how I do it and I'm a very experienced finisher. In fact, you can go across grain between coats of surface finishes. After all surface finishes like lacquer and varnish are on top of the grain - like a thin sheet of glass. They have no grain. That said, on fine surface finishes, I do go with the grain of the underlying wood anyway so the micro-scratches produced by the steel wool go with the grain although they are almost invisible anyway and final polishing gets rid of that anyway. It's simply a fine point and a habit. But, with frets, there's nothing to be concerned about at all when using fine steel wool across the grain.
amazing video sir
Other videos don't mention giving the string 2.5 inches of slack at the tuners. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks, a very helpful video
i seriously just the bought the same exact strings lol thanks for the vid, it really helped
Many thanks for this great video from Sri Lanka...!!!
What I do a bit differently these days is I tie the Strings onto Bridge Beads which allow me to convert them into Ball End Nylon Strings. Ball End Nylon Strings make restringing the Guitar a Snap and actually it also lets the strings come out of the bridge at a steeper angle over the saddle.
Thanks ALOT Andrew!
Oh thank you so much! I just changed my strings on my guitar! :D
Thank you so much for this video! Excellent. Pausing at 12:00 was especially helpful.
Thankyou for posting this:)
Great video!!!
Great video!! Thanks for uploading! :D !!
Very good video. Thanks.
Thank you for the video it was really helpful cheers from the u.s. Portland, Oregon.
thanks for sharing.....your information gave a better understanding.....!!!
Thanks for the vid man, finally got around to restringing my Spanish guitar after 2 years of it still having the strings on from the shop :s. One question though, how long would you wait, if at all, to cut the tails of the strings once they're fitted?
Thanks for the video. Can the saddle be too high? The 3rd and 6th strings on my classical guitar are very tight and when I tune it I think they might snap.
Thanks so much - this was just what I needed!
Things I learned which are helpful to me here were the alignment,
the polarity of the thin string ends,
validating that the 2 loop knots on the 5th and 6th strings are sufficient, (as I do that already)
.... that a good time to clean the guitar is when its stripped down and is PART of the string changing,....
... which also taught me apparently nothing will ever be good enough for 600 people.
This is an excellent how-to DIY video.
I have been playing 50 years and everything you really need to know is covered and then some.
I dont know man, other things here have come to light from the viewers comments though...
IF YOU NEED TO SEE a basic loop knot being made, EACH TIME, wow,....look closer, he does it in within view, but it gets rolled around the tuning drums.They are all done the same way except for alignment placement.
Where do you think they went?
If this flabbergasts you, wait until you drop a pick in "The Black Hole" of nevermore....
I kinda think these are the people who follow a garmin navigator down a set of railroad tracks.
Not everything in life is a scrollable moment where things are all apped up.....
Good Luck with Real Music.
I got one of these w/steel strings the frets are ruff no polishing the action is suppose to be high on Flamenco & Classic small body guitars?
thank's for this video its help me a lot to re string my guitar
great video! thanks.
