I'll stop wearing black when this damned Vietnam War is over

Hope your uncle is comfortable, buddy! Thanks for sharing your time with us. Don't ever change, Guthrie. Those of us who know appreciate you dearly. God bless you and all you set your hands to!

Thx for this. Definitely try it out on my telly. There's few guitar players and plenty who play guitar. You sir, are a player.

I started wearing black tshirts when I went back to school - doesn’t show stains, lasts a long time, and goes with everything. I like the honest content friend. Peace!

The face grease thing🤣!! Love it. Get the mojo where you can! Cool video man, thanks!

luv all the live videos you post going back a few years. happy that you and uncle larry and those other bad ass cats i see you play with do what you do.

I think the first time I changed strings was 1973. And yet I watched this entire video. After I have the new strings on and stretched pretty good, I pull each string up out of it's nut slot, and use a pencil on the slots. Especially the wound strings. I find it helps. There are only three Guitar Players on KZread that I watch every video. You, Uncle Larry, and Tim Pierce. If you start doing those "Why this is (add a mediocre Band name here) best song" Or your comments on the 'Top Ten' list, I'm gone. But if you continue making the great videos I've come to enjoy, I will be here watching and stealing little tricks. Thanks for that. Much respect...

I don't know about his other videos, I'll check some out, but this is the only string change video I have watched start to finish. Subbed.

This is pretty much how I change my strings. Except I take off all the old strings at once. These are my favorite tuners for changing strings too.☺☺☺

It was great to meet you the other day at the Underdog! Happy to see you also have a Songbirds shirt!

You nailed it when you Said, "if it comes from the heart" people will Relate to it. Authenticity comes through in these videos.

I just love you Guthrie! I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that I really think one of the most powerful lessons you have to teach has absolutely nothing to do with guitar at all. You are a living example of how truly being yourself shines through in the way you play! This seems to be one of the most overlooked missing pieces in the music world, and you my friend are bridging that gap like a boss. I can almost guarantee that you would never have reached your profound level of playing if it weren’t for your honest, genuine, and truly self expressed nature. When we see an artist cut through all the bullshit and really lay it all bare, that is what makes us all connect. That is what we all strive for on the deepest level. Combining that with hard work, and the essential fundamentals of music is what truly makes you a leader in this arena! I think we should all be thanking you from the bottom of our hearts for steering music back towards what really matters, so that the spirit of music itself can thrive in a world presently full of so much noise. RESPECT!

great to see a pro show how he restrings a telecaster. thanks guthrie!

Yer obviously a great player and teacher my friend but often I tune in just to hear your banter , we definately could be friends , your point of view and sense of humor are top notch .

This is honestly one of my favorite videos of yours. It's been cool watching you become more comfortable in front of the camera and showing more of your personality. Really enjoy your perspective on things!

I'm a guitarist wanna-be and thoroughly enjoy watching pros like yourself do what they do best. But for some reason, this is the most enjoyable video of yours I've watched. Thanks!

Thanks man!!! I will do one at a time from now on. It’ll be WEIRd but it’ll be a new habit to learn!

Happy to see that I did it the wright way since years now !!! Cheers from France 🇫🇷😉

Thanks. Enjoyed that. Youre right about the meditation thing. Anything to do with a musical instrument, even changing strings is meditational and good for the mind. I just did so yesterday. The thing about it is, when changing strings or just playing.. nothing else can enter your mind except what youre concentrating on. Old worries and yesterday go out the window for as long as your dealing with the music issue. Personally, I always feel the benefit afterwards. No negativity for an hour or 2 is a healthy thing. No time or space to worry about worry. Thanks for reminding me.

Guthrie! Huge fan here! Love all your videos and appreciate the "genuine" real time performances. Thanks again for all you do! Keep the faith!!!

Really appreciate the step by step. Great vid.

"I think I have the perfect amount"....Love it...Thanks for the tips....Grolsch beer rubber caps..perfect fit.

You’re not a lunatic. My guitar tutor a long time ago, who was like a master Yoda said the same thing about the oils from your face. It works.

"If you have time... you are not playing the guitar for a living!" Yeeesssssss! 🙌

We've all been here, changing strings. But being able to hang with Guthrie changing strings is just plain cool. Like you say- therapeutic.

I usually did the cut all at once - what you said makes perfect sense about keeping neck tension, my reason is for cleaning the fretboard grime.

Thanks for the insight! Love to see it

Prayers said for your uncle Jerry and thank you for this lesson! ❤🙏

Awe Dude we use the nose oil trick in the sign making industry for gold leaf! Love it!

Thanks GT! Very helpful, especially the high string hack!!!👍👊

Guthrie your'e the Man! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Don't lose your g-string

Guthrie I have always liked the way you and Larry make your videos. It's a little more casual and relatable. I love Rick Beato's vids as well, but that's totally different content.

One of the best tips I was given when changing strings, especially on a guitar with a Bigsby, trying to hold the tension, is use a capo at the first fret to hold the tension. Then winding the tuners is easy. And using an eraser to hold the ball ends on the Bigsby pins to keep them popping off. Thanks for your videos, GT, I feel like you and Tom are the greatest hangs.

Thank you for showing how to change strings. Now I can do them myself.

Ahhhh YES! The ol' side of the nose trick. Inside baseball, love it. Great job. Greetings from Cal! Grolsch beer

YES! Finally, I can do all the stuff in a GT lesson 😂 particularly the nose grease on the string thing - nailed it! Thanks so much for sharing so generously and humorously Guthrie, really appreciate it … Cheers!

Great “statement” - you are sooo right. I value you because you are straight forward highly professional

Thank You for showing me how to do my first re string on a Tele properly.😊

I love you man ! I love authentic real people.

thanks much for the video stretching the string in a few areas also helps the process

You're the man Guthrie...

Wow ! That's probably the best guitar video I've ever seen ! and I watched it from beginning till very end 🙂

Thanks for this Guthrie, love all your tips & wisdom

My fretboard gunk's up from sweat and I clean it as I change strings and use graphite on the nut. Thanks GT. 🔥🎸😉

Thank you for sharing this. Watching at the speed 1.75 makes it really entertaining)

Great nose/ head oil hack + uncle Larry’s string groove bend thing… thanks!!

Mr GT, in no way am i taking anything away from fantastic people who have all that slick production. But for many of us, it is the straight ahead, simple, honest videos that people like you and Uncle Larry share that is so engaging. Your approach meets everyday people hungry to be better musicians right where we live. Though i watch all kinds of guitar videos, the ones that i always watch are yours and Uncle Larry's. Thanks for staying the course.

Hi Guthrie. Sorry to hear about your uncle. Another good reason to take care of your health (both mental and physical) and avoid stuff that will eventually kill you. Enough pontificating. I have a mental block when it comes to changing strings so thanks for this video. Hope you have a joyful and relaxing day 😃

Thank’s for this.

Right on, I was taught to change one string at a time as well. That's cool

So glad you mentioned the face oil, you’re not mad !

Went down to see Guthrie live action from Boston!! It was amazing!!!! I did not say hi and do The photo thing. Not me. But what a Bad Man! And if you go you gotta go to Carters!!!! Omfg! I almost bought a 1929 Gibson acoustic. But came to my sensors! We don’t have anything close in Boston. More than anything the shipping is a nightmare. But nice crew there. Saw Brian Sutton just chillin. How awesome!!! Until nextime what a guitar players Heaven!!!

Excellent! I learned the exact same technique in the back of Circus magazine in 1978 and have used our ever since, well, except for the oil bit! But now I'm gonna incorporate that! I love all your work! Please bring it to Charlotte some time.

GT- I am so happy to hear about your Truefire courses. Love to see you getting more and more of the much-deserved exposure. The world is a better place. I just played a big gig and got amazing feedback. I give lots of credit to the focus on the shapes and chord tones

We definitely don’t need any big productions , your videos are kick ass the way the are. Being honest

This is how I do it….. 👍🏼

so glad had time to share thank you mr trapp

My favorite face oil lunatic! Love that!

The skin oil suggestion makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the pro tip🙏

Awesome. Love the rocket surgery!!! Most excellent.

Previously I've taken all the strings off before restringing , now I'll restring one at a time . Billy Gibbons giving you that necklace is cool , Crazy Pig Designs in London made some Jewellery for him , the same designer as the Keith Richards Skull ring . Thanks for the tips man .

I love your stream of consciousness! Thanks for the fun video!

Those are some great tips on changing guitar strings. Really helpful stuff. I think some of those guys with the professional production and editing have one or more assistants who do a lot of that for them. Having said that, I think the things you were saying on that topic make a lot of sense.

“The 2nd P is silent”. Classic. I did laugh out loud. 🤣

Holy crap! I don't know if you're messing with everyone, but I'm going to try the face oil trick when I change my strings.

A-1 on the jukebox A-1 on the charts. Learned a basic. Thanks.

You should polish your frets and hydrate the board once a year

Guthrie on that fresh strang strife! Been using almost that same set, but the balanced tension NYXL's, I guess the B string is .5 guage heavier. Ask me if it makes a difference and I might think so one day, might not the next, but I'm set up for it so, we go.

Thanks Guthrie. A couple of really useful tips there.

Thanks for your time and tips as always. And, it is nice to see color in music once in a while

Chet used to get oil from behind his ear before he played a tune on his nylon string guitars. He even mentions it on (I think it was) the "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" (maybe it was "Down the Old Plank Road") album.

Thanks Guthrie for letting us hang with you while you change your strings .

Heck yeah Guthrie, bring on the videos.

Guthrie, you’re a funny cat bro , one hell of a guitar player and teacher. Thanks for the videos. Looking forward to this new album you and Buk are releasing. Have fun tonight tonight champ !

This video was a cool little something different and I love it! God bless your uncle and thank you for all the straightforward real content you share on here!

The content speaks for itself, Guthrie. Production is all a nice decoration but how you break down the guitar in order to play actual music is key. Keep on keepin’ on man 👊

Thanks for the tips! Not sure why one string at a time though. On my Tele, I like to take 'em all off & gives me a chance to wipe and grit of the fret board before putting new strings on. Don't worry about neck tension in the 5 minutes it takes to change 'em. It's a Telecaster. You can drive nails with it and it'll still stay in tune:)

I think the best tip in this is to wind up your old cut strings. I used to try and just throw them in the can and the ends would stick out the top of the can. Been poked one too many times haha

Great stuff, Thanks so much for doing this..

This is the Guthrie Talkin’ Crazy Show. It’s very entertaining though. I love your videos. Rhett Shull is the exception to your statement about well edited guitar videos while being a pro guitar player.

You gotta be crazy to do this, bro.

Although I was aware of most of the tipps, there's still and always something new to learn, which I love (this time about the little push down near the bridge end and that natural oil thing, which sounds totally plausible to me! I'm going to try that from now on). The pegs on T-style guitars differ from those on ST-style or LP-type ones, so it'd be interesting to see, whether you had a cent or two on locking them in for the winds on those other guitars as much as possible. (I go through the perpendicular hole, make a right angle bend near where you clipped them, so we'd have to add half an inch to the amount of excess string, lock the upward sticking end with the first wind, the rest like you showed us here, meaning going _under the first_ wind with the rest of the winds, so the string makes an angle from the saddle. Any excess string past the tuning peg I cut as close to the peg as possible so not as poke my fingers when tuning) Loved to hear your stories from the neighborhood and community and hope, your uncle is doing better. Love that woodwork of his, really cool! Thanks a bunch!

Sometimes I'll take off all strings and clean the guitar/oil the fretboard. Rosewood boards love the linseed oil. Cheers!

Today I learned Guthrie is a little bit crazy. I like him even more now cuz a little bit crazy is a whole lot human. I kinda thought the oil from your skin would destroy the strings faster but it makes sense that it would keep the strings from binding at the nut. Tom Bukovac showed a tip a day or so ago about how to check if your strings are binding at the nut. The things I learn from these guys is incredible. I even sound better when I play now. 🤠

I heard an interesting tip over on Scott's Bass Lessons regarding vintage-style tuners like yours which require you to snip the string before inserting it in the tuner; I don't know if this only applies to bass strings, or guitar strings as well, but he mentioned that when you snip the end of a loose (unstrung) bass string, it can actually ruin the string. Apparently the outer wire going around the core kinda holds everything in place, and when you snip it, the whole core wire can come loose from the outer winds, and then the string sounds fucked up and dead. His solution: put a crimp/kink in the string where you wanna cut it, then snip behind that crimp. That basically locks the two parts of the string together so they can't slip, sorta fusing the string, then you just snip the excess and push that fused tip into the vintage-style tuner. Again, no idea if guitar strings have this problem, and obviously it's only a concern for the wound strings, but it's something to keep in mind.

Really enjoyed this video!

Guthrie, best wishes for your uncle! Your using your face natural oils to lube your strings reminded me of when I use to spray Finger Ease on my strings back in the later 60's. It really worked too!

Best wishes to your uncle. The beer you're thinking of is Grolsch 🍻

Nuthin to think about brother. Youre right.

Hey, GT. I've been watching your channel since the very beginning, when you were just getting off the ground. Keep it cool and keep it pure. We get it. Just an iPhone and genuine, honest, from the heart episodes. That's all it takes, man. No bullshit and no goop. This was a very worthwhile hang. Would be cool to repeat with a 335. Hope you had fun at the gig. -GB

Bro, UR the Total BOSS!

Prayers for your uncle, GT. The nose lube thing sounds nuts, but I'll try it. Speaking of uncles, my uncle inspired me to play at a very young age. He'd put his '46 es300 on a bed and let me touch it. He's long gone, but I have that guitar and play it often. Its 3yrs older than me and still plays and sounds like "buttah".

Thanks for sharing. I've been changing all 6... Last two? I bumped the thumb wheels on my LP and my 335. Had to mess with set up as a result. Going back to one at a time.... Simple. Hope you had a great Jam. 😀

haha "Actually, it`s my G, guitar string." 🤣🤣🤣

I own a signed poster sized drawing made by your cousin Sarah that she made for a school project when she was a little kid. It's a drawing of a little baldheaded kid and was tacked to the wall in Jim's basement in the Trapp Fest days. With Jim acting as her art dealer, I negotiated a price of $35 for it. It's a surrealistic masterpiece. People stare at it and ask me if it's a Picasso or something. I think I'll will it to you. It would look great on your wall. Danny P.

I feel honored to have you mentor me!!!

Awesome ✨🏆gold nugget drop Guthrie. One at a time to keep the neck stable.

Funny stuff! Thanks G.T.

Guthrie thanks for the facial oil on the strings tip man! In the last year since I personally discovered you, you have helped me so much on the guitar. I encourage anyone who plays guitar to listen to what you have to show and say, whether they are experienced players or just learning the guitar. We, as guitar players should have the "forever learning" mindset. I hope to see you perform live one day here soon Guthrie. Shout-out from Enterprise Alabama!

Some of your comments are hilarious! We get to learn and laugh at the same time. Great video!

The moment when you stretch the high E string and it breaks...hate that.😂

It's like a sinking pit in your gut. I just stare at the guitar for like 30 seconds in silence, when that happens.🤠
