After scrolling through several annoying videos on restringing the classical guitar, I stopped looking after viewing this one. The speaking style is slow and relaxed enough (without all the macho "guitar lingo"), so one can actually follow what's being explained. Following these nicely explained instructions, I know I can easily and correctly restring my guitar--no stress! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Great video George! This is very different than what I learned in the 1970's. Thanks for posting!

THE most thorough, and therefore helpful, video on nylon string changing! George, you are a craftsman! I recently purchased a nylon string guitar, and I watched multiple videos yesterday…all hid the close-up knot perspectives, so I gave up in frustration. This video, from a true teacher, helps me enormously. Thank you!

This is the best video on KZread for changing classical guitar strings - thank you SO MUCH!

Very good my dear friend..congratulation I like it..

Fantastic video. I love the amount of pertinent technical knowledge, it's absolutely necessary but often largely lacking in so many "instructional" videos.

Thanks so much for explaining in detail and showing in detail the detail work. That is what it is all about. My first restring is a success!

Excellent! So glad that it helped

Thanks - I used your method and it is qute consistent. I think the double twist for the tuner pegs is the very best and easiest way. It was really easy to repeat without much effort. You covered it quite well as well.

I am a beginner in restringing and found your site exactly what I needed. Simplicity, detail and informative. I started with another video and then found yours. It is a gem find!

Thank you. This is my go to video for stringing my nylon string guitar.

Such an excellent video. The best I've seen.

Thanks George! Great

Wasn't sure whether the 1st and 6th wound opposite of the rest... Also, couldn't figure out why my top string barely had any tension...followed you exactly...your 2 loops (at the roller) seem to have done the trick! Great tips!Thanks!

Simple and excellent method! thanks!

Of all the many videos for restringing a classical guitar, I find this one is the best. Please do a video for a 12 hole bridge. Thanks.

Excellent demo!!

Great video and method! Thanks a lot, this will be my way of doing it from now on!!

Great video. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very very much. This system worked.

I use Ball End Strings which make restringing a Snap

Great joj george iagree this was best video for string classical guitars thank you 0:09

Thank you sir you explained everything well. God bless

very professional - I like it.

I use the loosely wound end at the bridge, but pull it through far enough that the loosely wound part through that the loosely wound part is not at all involved in the knot and goes away when I trim away the excess.

Thank you George , that was the best demo. I also, found the possible reason my A or D strings unravel and break at the tie bar after 3 weeks.

Ball End Strings might help

Thanks for this. I've been playing a nylon string for years, and every time I restring it, I always try something new, and most methods have a lot of convoluted ties and what not. Your method appears to be very fast, easy, and effective. Going to try this tomorrow because the restring I did the other day using composite strings (which sound horrible to my ear) is not to my liking.

Many tks for this! Very usefull!

Thanks, George. My trusty Alhambra thanks you as well. Cheers!

Thank you George!

Now I know. Thanks George.

Have to say I've not seen this method of attaching strings to the machine heads. Next time one is due a restring I'll do it this way because it's easier, quicker and they are not gonna come loose either. And it's quite neat as well. Bridge end I was taught to tuck the tags under the adjacent string. I still do it that way because it looks neater, although it takes a bit longer..not much though once you're used to it. And I'm now wondering how this method might work on steel string guitar tuners..? I'm gonna try that next time I restring one. If you don't try different ideas you don't learn anything..

Nice one! Thanks 👍

Fast and secure, that's the ticket.

Thank you

👌

Thanks

I have seen it this way , and another way, and yet, I know a third way.

Great video! May I ask what you use on your nails?

Wow, what is the name and model. You said made in CA .. I've been looking for American made in America nylon ... what is it? I was looking at old guild

What happens if I don't have a bridge

Why not loop the string eat the bridge twice?

Bill gates is doing guitar lessons now? Joking, but you resemble him a little, thanks for the video.

Just changed my nylons for the first time in years, very dull strings. I ordered the same hard tension strings, got all the way to the high e string and realized they sent me two b strings, what a joke!

That's a bummer! Unfortunately, stuff like that happens on rare occasions. I once opened up a set of electric guitar strings from another company and the A-string was double wound for a quarter of its length! We hope you'll give them another shot, we use them as our house string here and they serve us well.

this is BAD

@@ic_1234 because this method of stringing guitars: 1. is BAD for sound quality, propagation, damping... etc, sound physics. 2. utterly destroys the bridge. you are supposed to either knot and pad them behind the bridge. and pass the string straight through. or use ball end strings, which are the only acceptable way. paco de lucia talked about this too.
