Where's the Best String Changing Guide/Tutorial?

The one with the most/best pictures, thorough explanation, etc.

Thanks!

Hey there,

Our very own NILS has created a website with great pictures/illustrations for your instruction.

There are also some really good videos on YouTube: Easy to find via google :)

Yeah, I'd say Dagwoods link was very good. Thanks for sharing!

It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!

The thing about changing strings is, once you've done it you never forget. It's just plain commonsense; and if you can't remember, for instance, which way to turn the string around the tuning peg, simply change them one at a time so you can always look at the next one.

The best tutorial for changing strings is to actually do it!

:D :D :D

first few times can be daunting....fear of maybe doing something terribly wrong (you can't)...

but it soon becomes second nature...and eventually a 'treat' to put new janglers on....you can clean the fretboard and remove the gunge that gathers under the strings....a quick vacuum of an acoustic is also a must in my opinion 8)

what did the drummer get on his I.Q. test?....

Contrary to popular belief I am alive and well.

Been super busy with work and life in general but have been checking here daily just no time to post much.
