"MATT GRAHAM: Okay. So if you look right here, we've locked the string down onto itself and then it wraps around and comes underneath itself and then back down the neck. So it's always important that you make sure your string is wrapping down the post and that each subsequent wrap is going underneath. Once you get it the first time, it should just follow the suit the rest of the time. So now, the step is to tune up this string. So I have a chromatic tuner here and what a chromatic tuner does is it just tells you the name of the note that you're playing. Now some guitar tuners are only designed to tune the notes of the strings of the guitar when it's in standard tuning. And these can be a little sketchy for restringing because you put the string on and it's really low and you're trying to find that note and you might go past it and break your string before you even get to play on it. So this just tells me that, you know, right now I'm playing like a C and so I'm just going to tune up and keep plucking while I'm tuning up, and I should be pretty close to E now which is what I want because that the low E string. And then I'm going to go ahead and put on the rest of the strings using the same method that I've done here and tuning them each as they go as they're relatively close. And then I'm going to show you how to stretch them out and get the whole guitar in tune."
