- How to Change Electric Guitar Strings is a beginner video lesson by Matthias Young where you will learn how to string an electric guitar. In the video, we will use a string-through-body model Jackson guitar with a reverse headstock. On other guitars, you may just need to thread the string through the tailpiece.

Changing my strings once a month? I had the same strings for almost 2 years loly
Yup.. I also play in drop #a though so they save longer xD
K.I.Z Of A Down 5 beat that
Mine's 8 years already lmao
@@woozihae Who needs new strings anyway right?
This tutorial really helps me a lot in terms of changing the strings. It's very clear and specific. Thanks!
i’ve tried to change my strings on 3 separate occasions and never succeeded. your video helped me change my strings for the first time. thank you.
I just blew through 3 packs trying.

This is by far the best method of changing strings that I've ever tried. I've been changing the strings on my guitars for so many years with lack-luster results. This has made the process so easy and fast! Thank you so much!
You don't need to keep any tension on the neck. You can cut all of the strings off at the same time while the guitar is still in tune and then clean your guitar and neck, then start changing strings. Think about it......if you use your whammy bar and push it all the way down, like everybody does, that takes 100% of the tension off of the neck. They play that way over and over and over again. If string tension harmed anything, there would not be a whammy in the whole world. The strong neck with a steel truss rod is PLENTY strong enough to handle over abusive whammy techniques, it will handle changing strings with no tension. This guy is a dolt.
I actually had a talk with a guitar tech about this just the other day.. You are 100% correct.. He came up with a point that, how do you clean the fretboard on a 12 string if you're only removing one string at a time? And, If you remove the 6th string, the remaining stronger strings are going to "twist" the neck.. So deceives the entire theory purpose.. The best way is to detune all the strings and then cut them in the middle with some cutters. That way the straight ends will feed through the bridge easier when pulling them out of the guitar. ... Discard the strings and clean the fretboard.. Install new strings one at a time and give slight tension to each.... Don't tune them one at a time. Wait until you have "loaded" all strings before tuning..TH-cam is full of misinformation. You are right. This guy is a dolt..
he kinda looks like McCaulay mccullcin
LOL :D
He also looks like McCaulay. Lol
*When u break ur string and have to order a new one*

This was great! I've been playing for a while and never knew how to change strings. Thanks, man.

Cheers dude, i'm an absolute noob and was completely lost when my e-string broke for the first time, but this video helped me quickly get back to business.
Best video on changing strings that I've seen so far
i just did this and messed up the E string
lesson learned: watch the whole video before attempting anything ;-;
Happy Valentine's Day!
so i was changing my strings on my strat. and is it ok if my strings only went 1 wrap around the machine?I know you said about 2 or 3 wraps but mine only went once and i tuned it and it sounds nice.did i do something wrong?
When I turned mine three time around it snapped :/
He said TWO times around not THREE
@@djentyman4002 you're telling him this 5 years later
KinoTheMystic yup lol had to be done
you put too little slack when you were winding your strings. make sure to put enough (but not too much) slack when restringing so that you have enough space for winding and tuning up. Usually a good rule of thumb is to measure the length of one tuning head to another and pull that back outward to get enough slack. dumb bitch.
Well, I scratched my headstock when I placed my thumb to keep the strings in place:(
Thank you! For a very informative and helpful video. Bought peg winder and the task was a breeze..Now all I gotta do is tune my guitar to get back to rock'n r... ummm... practicing my scales.. \m/
"once a month" I came here to check if my 11 year old strings were still fine. I got myself a new set of strings lets see what it does then
Haha me too. After 11 years of gathering dust in the basement I decided to take it out and start learning, but I still don't feel comfortable enough changing them
Dude you don’t know how much this fucking helped me I couldn’t get my strings out at the bottom until I knew you had to push
what guitar is that? i know its a dinky but i cant find Dinkys with reversed headstocks AND string through body
NerfYashru Jackson soloist slxt
It's a Jackson js32 I have one in sunburst
Very helpful..
That guitar tho reminds me of my C1 SGR..
I followed the steps in the video, but I'm having an odd issue that I haven't been able to figure out. I've tuned successfully to E Standard, but when I try to tune down to Eb Standard, the strings somehow go sharp. For instance, my A string that I've tuned to Ab will then register somewhere close to A. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
you need to stretch your strings, just be careful and patient. if that still doesn't work, lube up contact points like the saddles or nut slots. (also make sure you're locking your strings at the tuning machine)
@@jakcSucks Thanks for the reply. It turns out that when I changed the gauge of the strings, which is causing the tremolo to shift away from the face of the guitar.
Thank you for maki g this video got some new strings and with how things are going on Leary I know k ow how to do so with out having to go to an professional to do so
Very helpful for this model. Can't find a similar video for Ibanez RG 450 DX BK. I ran onto a problem at the bridge end. Accidentally disconnected the screw that fits into that end and secures the little moveable block that holds the string in place.
Totally freaked out trying to get it back in place. No videos to help
Hi what do you call in the 6 metal holes in the front? At the back it calls ferrules right how about at the front?
that peg winder seems handy
NICE!!
Do you think a set-up is needed if I switch from super-slinky (9-42) to regular (10-46)? I am a beginner who's been playing for the past 2 months or so.
SYLFan2008 No it should be fine. I did the same thing and never got a set up
How Would I Do It For An Ibanez?
Aida Hernandez trolls
Jackson guitar lok not a ibnz
What model is this?? Holy looks nuts
Thanks man you are great
My string just broke at the beginning of where you're supposed to push it back during the removal of your strings.. So I don't have enough string left on that side to push it back out of my guitar. Any ideas?
damn.. think u better buy new strings.. i fucking hate that, just restringed my classical guitar and cut too much, then realised i stringed it wrongly
very helpful
Thank you !! :)
I wanna see it done on an Ibanez with a reverse headstock
Good job bro
What is the point of using the same strings that's on the guitar already 9 to 42 dont got to drop c or drop which is what I use why cant I use a totally different gauge than the standard gauge
Does this method also work well for guitars with Tremolo systems? I have a Jackson JS22 Dinky.
Is it ok if i take all of the strings out at once, or will i have to take them out one by one?
Thank you
My guitar has tuning locks that you have to loosen to move the tuning machines
One of those chrome circle pieces are missing from the back of my guitar, what is it called?
Nice thx
thank you
amazing how many videos do not show this aspect of how to string an electric guitar.
Why do you need to maintain "Proper neck tension" while changing strings??
+Atihcin because of the tension rod that's in the neck of your guitar, the strings counteract it but if you take them all off you can cause permanent damage to the neck
no, i dont think you can. just turn the truss rod if the neck is too straight
+Atihcin if you're actually a guitar technician I guess you can do that but it's best not to mess with it and easier to just change one at a time
you dont need to be a technician to be able to turn a truss rod. cmon. even a kid could do that.
in fact, you might have to fiddle around with the truss rod without taking all strings off at once. for example if the guitar shrinks.
My string only wrapped once. Is that fine? Ibanez RG120 btw.
Holding the string an inch above while it's tight and then moving it back down to give slack was the key
How do I change strings on an Harley Benton Explorer?
Can I just use my hand instead of a peg winder?
You can, but it'll take so long and you'll get tired from having to do it to all the strings.
Wrongedright he listens to slayer... don’t worry about him 🤘🏻
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU SOOOOOO FUCKIN MUUUCH
every time I start turning the string keeps looping upwards and of the head
thnx alot
Thanks for the reply :D
I only change all my strings every six months or something. But my e string breaks every few months and I can never get it set so it won't break when I tune it... I hope this works
Is it okay if you don't break the string while removing?
Tanvi Vora I don’t think it matters
What if I don't have a peg winder 😓
Nice hair👍🏽.
I can pull off the thin strings
It just doesn’t poke out
@HaarekV3 no that dudes TRAPPED
my string snapped at the bridge so the fat end is stuck within the guitar
I have a gig tomorow and all i have is acustic guitar strings can i use it on my Electric guitar i dont have money to buy new strings plz awser me fast
I guess it's too late to reply but no you can't. electric guitar strings are different than acoustic strings and are also made to attach differently.
+Sunny Eklund the hell kind of a gig can't afford strings...
No wonder my son's teacher is getting on my son's nerves to change the string. I think we got his guitar 6-7 months ago and never changed them lol
jeff young from megadeths little brother
Wow. That guy is Nordic.
Is that kindy guitar?
Mine got tension after one wrap
i was like where does it come out or do i pull it good thing i didnt
I just ruined a new set of strings why is it that I immediately feel the resistance .
It's better to do it one by one because in some cases, the tension of the strings could bend or break the neck of the guitar
I cut my strings this way but it turned into a dinosaur!!! Not sure what to do now!!!
They made the robot look pretty damn human, 10/10
Once a month = every 10 years or so, right?
yes, very accurate 😂
I want you to start a video saying where's Dave man
i did this and when i plucked a string it sounded as if i was playing on the 21st fret. Aha.
This version of Macaulay Culkin never met Michael Jackson =0
you say dont take out all the strings at the same time, but i wanna oil my rosewood fredboard.
They’re not cheap for them to last less than a month
not very helpful. I'm sorry but you don't need fancy tools to string up an electric guitar.
I agree but he would be a professional musician so he would have the proper tools
Jacob Bathke you can get a winder for like 2 dollars...
i saw them at GC for 90 cents
LMAO...fancy tools. I got a Chromacast one online for $1.25 and it works great. No idea what you're talking about
Srsly u don't need those stuff u can srsly use us hand and save strings.
Edit:BTW nice guitar
Just watching him turn the peg makes me nervous. I'll never be able to change my own strings. I've failed too many times. I'm cursed. I'll never succeed.
Dat i contact doo
shit i broke the fucking string
Why did I think u were gar from megadeth lol
i had one through my face it sucked
cheeck
Remember not to cut yourself on that very sharp cut guitar string....Many a man has died changing a guitar string.......In fact, guitar should be banned.....Just ban it....Ban it now....
...The humanity.
Is that a thumb or a toe
