    Default Stringing a guitar video

    I made a video last night, check it out. This is how I string my guitars.

    Comments?

    Yep, this Newb likes it. I have watched my local tech string my strat just like that, but was thinking I wanted to watch someone again before I did it myself. You might consider adding a discussion of order of string replacement, your view on how many to remove at once, etc. Thanks for thinking about the simple stuff for us getting started!

    I've been playing for a while, and this never gets old. Stringing up the way you demonstrate is essential to staying in tune. Excellent post, Robert!

    I appreciate that, Robert.
    Seeing it done is much better than just reading about it. Now I'm prepared for my first re-string, whenever that my be!

    I find this extremely useful. Of course I also cheat by having locking tuners on some of my guitars.
