That was smooth. This is the best string change tutorial I've seen yet.

@Oklatucky_Guitarman 8 лет назад

I always keep coming back to Rob because I always forget where to cut the strings!

@RockStarOscarStern634 4 года назад

Instead you can just unwind the strings all the way & they'll pop off the posts.

@RockStarOscarStern634 4 года назад

Well it's easier now.

@precisionbrown6829 3 года назад

Well I always measure up to the A string and a hair

@Parksandsoul 5 лет назад

YOU. JUST. CHANGED. MY. LIFE!!! No joke!

@drbrucehubbard Год назад

I’m so glad I watch this. It is so smart and practical. I have been changing guitar strings for 50 years and had no idea how I have been consistently botching it. Thank you Taylor!

@gregwilliss5863 5 лет назад

Perfect instructional video, took me about an hour of rewinding the vid & rewatching while restringing to make sure I didn't miss anything. Guitar now sounds crisp as anything, gave the old girl a new lease of life. Thank you.

@TrinhHarrison 7 лет назад

Thanks for the thorough instructions; very easy to follow.

Came here after that awful Fender instruction video. Thanks! This is exactly what I needed!

Haha yea I left when he said two at a time...

@richmahogany1710 3 года назад

had to go through 4 of the top videos before i found someone who actually said specifically how much slack to put on the strings instead of just "about this much." Also this is the only one that mentioned the treble strings needs more slack.

@therealtinah 2 года назад

@dukeofearl4117 7 месяцев назад

I’ve seen many different processes of putting the strings on. This is the best method. I like how you did the different types of guitars.

Am I the only one that has never seen a tuning fork used to tune a guitar? That was sorcery.

@TheFloridaPappy 4 года назад

I still have my A tuning fork. Extremely old school.

@tonythomas8937 4 года назад

old school and some people who work with music all the time and have perfect pitch just can hear the intonation. I have a friend who is an experienced professional Jazz and R & B bassist. He visited my house and asked me how my banjos were tuned, and I started to explain to him, and he said no just play it, and then told me exactly how each banjo (I had several with old time modal tunings) was tuned and which ones were off

@writerrad 4 года назад

Pretty standard way of tuning by resonant vibration that used to be standard for professional musicians and music techs and can be extremely true. If you are tuning guitars all day and repairing guitars to get the right intonation all day for decades, you develop something like perfect pitch for whether a guitar is in tune. The inexpensive electronic tuners are a gift from Heaven before what we used to put up with with pitch pipes and all that crap--try tuning an autoharp with a pitch pipe lol--but they have ruined our ears and brains for ear tuning

@yonkoff 4 года назад

Sorcery! Good one!😂

@thomascusik6109 4 года назад

I've been playing for over 50 years and have never bought a tuner. I thank God for giving me a good ear. I love the guys on RU-vid giving demos with a guitar out of tune. That is sorcery.

@gs3173 10 месяцев назад

You are a brilliant teacher Rob Magargal. Taylor is lucky to have you

@shermanericsf 2 года назад

Rob, thank you for this video. I have an older Taylor, had never restrung a guitar, and went to countless other videos. Yours was by far the best and got me through it. Clear instructions I’m excited to play. Thanks a million!

@Olyoachoo 3 года назад

I have been stringing my guitars for decades before I saw this for the first time about 5 years ago now. This method is so good and the strings stay in tune so much better, Rob knows. This vid is also about much more than tuning, with great info on how to maintain and preserve your equipment. Thanks for paying it forward.

@cindychapman7360 9 лет назад

Best video I have ever seen for changing strings, I was able to follow and change my strings on my Taylor mini no problem and I am a beginner, thanks a million!!!

@johnpaolino7834 7 лет назад

Rob has the best video out there, changing strings. So easy. All the others were so confusing. I had a little trouble with the pins coming up ? I have a Taylor 512..light strings. Thank You Rob for a great job !!!!

@jeremia5425 3 года назад

Came across this going down a rabbit hole of boredom. Got some strings yesterday and followed the steps. Took me 10 minutes and the new strings are perfectly in tune. Great video and I’ll be doing it just like this from now on

@DavidJones-rh1hd 4 года назад

This guy is an absolute MASTER of his craft. Wow! What a good video! Like many, I've watched hundreds of "how-to" videos on RU-vid. This is a "Top Two Percent" video. Smart, insightful information. Good directions. Good visuals. Good SOUND! (So many videos have crappy sound.) I love the "stretching technique" he demonstrated - - I've never done it that way, but I WILL do it that way from now on. Congratulations, Rob (and Taylor) for a fabulous video!

@psp777 12 лет назад

Ive been playing for over 25 years and I found this useful - thanks!

@sonofnothing 2 года назад

I bought my 314ce in 2008, it's still a beauty of a wonder to this day. I knew this would be the best video on youtube, regarding re-stringing. My dude in the thumbnail, I knew he'd be matter-of-fact, and getting to the point. This is legendary content. No pandering, no rambling- just Taylor brilliance.

@williheckaslike 7 лет назад

@geoffprice1896 5 лет назад

Nicley done thankyou taylor guitars 😃

@rjardine99 3 года назад

This is the the best tutorial available on string replacement. Now my guitars are easier to tune and stay in tune longer. Thank you!

@Easternborders 4 года назад

This tutorial helped me tremendously , I have a Taylor acoustic and would have struggled without this video, I folwed it to the letter, tightening the post nuts etc, also using Elixer strings, it now rings like a bell. Thank You.

@arsalanejazz Год назад

I always come back to this video whenever I'm changing my strings on the acoustic guitar 👍🏽

@mikesmith5683 9 лет назад

Wow, found out I've been using the same measurement for string replacement for 30 years! Great video from Taylor as always!

@modifeye1 9 месяцев назад

Thank you Rob. Excellent Instructions. By far the easiest, most effective way to change strings I have ever tried. Just restrung my Taylor 410 with the new recommended D'Addario XS strings. Tuned right up and sounds amazing.

@kevingill648 Год назад

After watching this video I think it's the best acoustic restring I've ever seen! I do it this way from now on, thank you.

@Reckless0969 9 лет назад

This video made my first, and subsequent string changes easy, thank you! I popped a string was my first "change" so I only had the new strings and a wire cutter and was able to do it with just that, and the following week same thing happened, and again no issue with the limited tools. Thanks again for such a great tutorial!

@taylorguitars 12 лет назад

@wirthwhilemusic hi, the tool we use is a standard B&D with a mod to increase the RPMs without increasing the torque. Hitachi makes a consumer model as does Ernie Ball.

Taylor Guitars I'M VERY SORRY FOR BREAKING YOUR GUITAR, LAURIE BERKNER!

@bryanchapman4779 3 года назад

Masterfully done. Thank you. What I learned from this video (that seemed to be missing from others on the same topic); (1) giving the highest 3 strings a little extra slack to avoid future breakage (3 wraps around the post); and (2) the manual stretch by hand - Brilliant. Thank you so very much. A great video for sure.

@silverjan02 9 лет назад

@rayblanks9669 8 лет назад

I was a nervous wreck at the thought of changing strings on my new 2015 Taylor 914ce. This video was amazing! I followed it to the tee step-by-step and it came out amazing. When the strings were all off, I polished the whole guitar and oiled the fretboard with Taylor polish and fret board conditioner. I went down one gauge to 10's and it plays much easier with no buzzing. Thanks, Rob!!!

@sicopr2003 8 лет назад

+Ray Blanks what strings did you have and what do you have now?

@JohnShalamskas 5 лет назад

Taylors at the 800 and 900 level usually come with Elixir HD lights, which are light on the treble (unwound) strings and medium on the bass (wound) strings. That way you get plenty of low midrange and easy bending on the upper midrange.

@lisascott2841 5 лет назад

I just broke my D string tuning to open E lastnight. Im always nervous when changing strings especially after only having my new ibanez talman electric/accoustic a week then breaking a string haha. I bought a string winder lastnight so hopefully i can do this when my new strings i ordered arrive soon. I got a 9-45 gauge pack cause i dont like the thickness of the ones that came with it

@tamschott1987 Год назад

This is the best string changing tutorial ever! I struggled with it every time.. I don’t know why I couldn’t get it..The tip about cutting the string first was the biggest help for me. I wouldn’t do it any other way now. Thank you!

@robertchappell674 2 года назад

A very helpful video. I've had 12 strings for many years, and always had issues re-stringing (the top G). Having changed my stringing technique, I've avoided lots of problems. I really enjoy my Taylor 150e.

@djhotdogboy 3 года назад

Thanks very much for this video! I think the Taylor-suggested approach here is excellent, especially measuring and cutting off the string ends prior to winding. I have a 712, and figured who better than Rob at Taylor to show me how to restring! Rob knows what he's doing!

@michael_caz_nyc 3 года назад

This is Great. I recently purchased a 414ce-R ( love it ) and I'm wearing the strings-out, from Playing so much. Thanks for this informative video.

@mikealexander797 4 года назад

Great video and terrific instructions by Rob. Keep in mind we are restringing so you may want to clean your neck and frets a bit. Use commercially available products for the neck cleaning and use some extra fine steel wool to clean your frets. With the strings off, its a good time to clean the neck, frets, and guitar in general.

@tedklumb4952 Год назад

Thank you so much. I have a 12 string and it is also slotted. This video was so comprehensive it addressed all issues.

Great tutorial. I have just bought a Taylor Koa GS Ltd Edition from 2011 and it came with Elixir strings 12 gauge. So I decided to restring my guitar with Newton strings gauge 11, (in order to decrease tension on the bendings)

Still the best restringing videos out there! I may not be the best guitar player but I've met so many guitars with sloppy strings & poorly coiled tuners. This video makes my guitar look professional, and most importantly STAY IN TUNE 🎸🎸🎸🎸

Thank you for this tutorial, especially I learned about stretching the strings, i'll do this from now on.

@Debralpease627 11 лет назад

Thanks for the help. Just getting back into playing after a 10 year hiatus and those strings are very old. Using my favorite Elixir Acoustic Guitar strings light/ for my Taylor 614-CE. Love the sound of new strings on a Taylor Guitar!

@franchelB 3 года назад

Highly informative! Thank you for the suggestions and the vid.

@edoates 10 лет назад

Nice instructional video. Two observations: 1. WASH YOUR HANDS before you start. That will avoid getting oils all over the strings. You'll get enough of those anyway, but make sure your hands are clean, just as you would before you start playing. 2. In don't like using a cutter to remove the bridge pins. I suggest a bent nose pliers to avoid even slight cutter nicks in the pins. Ernie Ball make a tool called the Power Peg I use as a string winder. It's a right angle rather than a straight.

@neildesperandum6114 3 года назад

Four stretches. And make sure you’ve got a spare top E. When tuning, always finish by tuning up, not down. If your string’s sharp, detune below the note then tune back up to it.

@gimpyjwilliams 2 года назад

dont need to do 4

@dangeroo78 Год назад

Best tutorial on this I've seen.

@makaras 6 лет назад

Thanks so much. I will be doing this for the first time ever, on a copy Strat. I see you went down the head for the thinner strings, and not both above and below as some vids say. Your method of going down seems easier 😊

@Fairy-door-78-86 5 лет назад

Brilliant clear and simple. Thanks. My fingers are really sore even though I've been playing a few years and practice everyday. I am using 11/52 and the action has been lowered. Would ligher strings help ?

@tomwessel6500 3 года назад

I've strung my guitars like this ever since I saw it first in 2012. It works flawlessly (never slips or pops out of tune, never breaks a string) and couldn't be more simple. I get a kick out of the posts by people who comment here that they do it differently without saying A) why or B) why I should think they know better than a Taylor technician!
