He shares wisdom he has gained over the years about string changing and specific guitar styles. Most importantly, both Gary and Dunlop want you to have the confidence to change your own strings so that you can quickly replace a broken string, or replace a dead set with a fresh one. With this knowledge you will be one step closer to reaching your full musical potential.
Gary has been a long time friend of the Dunlop family and also shares his home turf with the organization.

Start @2:00 So for a 3x3 Headstock: Left 3 pull the string tight then, pull back 1 whole fret and then bend LEFT to lock. Then cross over wrap CLOCKWISE RIGHT.Wind toward the TOP of the guitar, keeping the string constantly moving under the last layer. Right 3 pull the string tight then, back 1.5 whole frets and then bend RIGHT to lock. Then cross over wrap COUNTER clockwise left; twice. Wind toward the BOTTOM of the guitar, keeping the string constantly moving under the last layer. The give your guitar a tug job! I'm ADD, and have been watching this video every time I restring LOL. Figured Id put this in engrish, since the dame video switches angles so much. Good instructional video non-the-less.

@Fretfeeler 7 лет назад

I've been playing (and restringing) 30 years and this method is the best. Twice as fast as I used to do it, and I don't have issues with the strings popping out of the tuners while trying to get them under tension. Thanks for the video, this is good stuff.

@Justin1524 8 лет назад

I tried this on my Gibson SG an I have to say... it works! Guitar stays in tune more consistently and feels "tighter." Thanks Gary and I'll be using this method from now on.

@Lydomina 12 лет назад

He gives 1.5 frets of slack to the long part of the string(the part in between the bridge and nut) starting his count after the first fret wire, with that extra slack he wraps it around the tuning post twice counter-clockwise(only on the treble side[e, B, G, strings]). After that, he forces the string downward with his index finger as he tunes the string up to pitch which causes there to be windings above and below the string, hopefully locking it into place. Hope that helps.

How did I even fuck this up? I went to do the bend around the string on the low E before I started to wrap around the tuning machine, and just did it completely wrong. The string ended up with a bend in it and now I'm left with a 5 string guitar. Might as well tune the rest of the strings to open G and play Rolling Stones songs for the rest of my life

@blueworm2341 8 лет назад

lol u really fucked up

@erikfraunfelter3628 6 лет назад

Fuk Pig I am probably late in my response, but I just learned this method of stringing. It's critical to leave enough slack (meaning you need to pull the string back futher out of the tuning peg hole) you can one or two proper initial wraps. My guess was you wrapped too tightly without enough slack.

@bystander5278 6 лет назад

@thechad6852 5 лет назад

DuaLeaD , Yeah man... I didn’t even know that existed. But it gave me a thought. Yanno, most of us have some sort of power tools like a Power Screw driver with exchangeable bits. If we could find a bit with that TUNER head, it would be as simple as trading out your flathead screwdriver bit for a “TUNER Bit” and SLOWLY wind the string up so it takes 1 min to fully do a string instead of 2 - 3.5min by hand.

Just tried this method for the first time and I can't believe how much easier it was to do. Got it done in not even half the time it usually takes me.

@LightningJackFlash 8 лет назад

Sure, there are lots of comments like "changing all strings at once will damage your guitar", well I guess it's too much. In this video you said exactly what it is about - the truss rod actually bends off because of lack of the strings tension, causing it feels different for some time after changing the strings all at once. It doesn't damage the guitar anyway, but it's inconvenient simply, the guitar is off the setup you like for a while. Also the bridge doesn't fall off in case when it's not protected with a screw. That tip is really good :)

@EmptyBottlecap 11 лет назад

Best slack measuring technique I've seen so far

@user-fk5lu6jp8p 6 лет назад

Used that method for a long time, but at the end of the day it was always a hassle to keep the thinner strings under enough tension so as they do not jump back off the nut after the first wrap over the string which you do by hand. I found the method where you just loop back under and over the string after pulling it through the nut more easily to use as you never have to keep tension up with your other hand while winding any string to pitch. Especially as you basically try to create the same 'trap' or 'lock' for the string with both methods - you want the tension of the string to simultaneously keep the string from slipping, which is a very good idea for tuning stability. After realizing that both methods aim to do the same thing, it was obvious that just pulling through the nut, wrap back and go under the string once, then bend it around to go over allows you to wind up the string with the same 'safety to not slip', but you can start winding after 1 sec of pulling the string through the nut and you also need only one hand 1 sec after pulling the string through the nut and looping it around as the string will stay in place by itself from then on. ;) Both methods are vastly superior to any that do not use the tension of a string to act like a lock for that string, just to be fair.

@gimpyjwilliams Год назад

does it stay in place after you loop it so that you dont need to hold tension the whole time?

@davolthe1261 5 лет назад

@MrUltraworld 11 лет назад

Gotoh makes a locking tuner that is a direct fit for the bushing style keystone tuners. It makes a huge difference. The original bushings can stay on the headstock, you don't risk any scratches. Bag up the original tuners, keep them in the case. If you LP has Grovers, there's great direct replacement lockers for those as well.

@RideTheFuture 5 лет назад

Excellent video - up to the point where Gary actually puts rotational (axial) tension on the string by turning it over the tuning rod WITHOUT allowing the string to perform a rotation at the tailpiece! See 2min 59 for that questionable choice. If you do this, it would mean that from now on your strings are on your instruments under axial tension until the day they break. This makes absolutely no sense! If you were to observe the brass ring at the tail end of the string (were it not restricted by being stuck in the tailpiece) you would see said brass ring turn by almost a full rotation. Since the string is secured in the tailpiece, it cannot relieve itself from that tension. The correct way to re-string is everything Gary said up to this point but rather begin putting tension on the string by using the tuners EXCLUSIVELY. Thanks for letting me chime in

Can't wait until my current strings wear out so I can retry the process with a set of Dunlops (their plain steel strings would be completely perfect if they weren't so slippery - instead, they're just incredibly perfect).

@Turboy65 12 лет назад

No matter what the angle is, as long as the bridge saddles aren't sharp, strings should not break. I go for maximum possible break angle and my strings never break. But a shallower angle can reduce sustain. I recommend you run the strings UNDER, not OVER, and if a string breaks, where it breaks is where the saddle needs to be filed or sanded smooth. I bend like hell and the only time I ever break strings is when the wrapping on the plain strings slips. The wire itself never breaks.

@hpeterson10579 11 лет назад

The moving the string a fret was a cool trick thanks!

@MisterTee 12 лет назад

Lowering the tailpiece to the body, which you do when top wrapping, will compensate for any loss that is alleged by the angle shift across the bridge.
