Removing Strings From Guitar

Video Transcript

"Now we want to discuss putting a new string onto a guitar. Now, as we discussed in the last clip, you want to detune the string to the point where you can unwrap it by hand around the tuning post and pull it out. Then you want to take the string on the backside, and it can be tricky, sometimes you need to king of get lucky there, and pull it out. Always wrap it up when you're done, because if you don't, it could be very hard to see on carpet and it would really hurt if you stepped on it the wrong way. So wrap it up a couple times then you'll see it when you want to dispose of it. Then you want to take the string out of its' new package, be careful it doesn't unravel and come back to hit you, sort of unravel that guy, keep it straight. I'll get into more detail about this specific style of guitar and how to restring it in a moment, but you're going to try and get it in here, and pull it out the other side, and now we're ready to put it through the tuning peg."
