Hey Marty! I have a question... I was taught to make a half rotation with the string around the peg and pull it up between the peg and the string. When you toiiighten it (lol), it "locks" the string in to help prevent slipping. It is the right way? Is it a personal preference thing? Just curious because you didn't mention it at all. It seems to be working for me since I've been doing it for years. But I'm just wondering 🤔 GREAT vids by the way! Thanks for all your tips! ✌

Leave it to someone with the username "brm" to turn a convo about guitar strings depressing.

I had no idea that changing strings was such an involved process. I usually just unwind the old ones and slap the new ones on.

Hello 👋🏻 Marty and a huge thank you for not just your tutorial videos but having the on screen persona that makes it more enjoyable to watch as your a very likable guy. Love your channel my friend. I’m pushing 60 and just started this month. Been watching a marathon of videos from you 😂

I feel like im 12 again learning how to play guitar from Marty 😂 im 20 now and still playing guitar. Happy to see Marty’s still helping ppl with it too :,)

Man, I choked on my water when you said, “ you know, like when you’re at Guitar Center getting ready for a Sesh..” That’s so true, I hate that. Also, I thought I was the only person that says Toight, like a Toiger! Every time I use the word tight. Really enjoy both channels Marty. Thanks!

Smoke on the Water More like Choke on the Water

Another tip: After you remove the old strings, line the tuners up so the holes are parallel to the neck. Makes it easier to thread the strings through the tuners by making them easier to access as you go along.

Thank you, saved me from the struggle

Best stringing tutorial, thank you for being in depth and explaining everything. I bought some new strings and broke the e string tryna watch a 5 minute tutorial and I was super bummed, then I found this video and got some new strings and nailed it!

The lesson we didn't realize we needed the most and we're all pro string changers thanks to my man here!

As someone that is horrible with hands on things, this was very helpful. Thanks a bunch Marty!

Hey Marty, thanks for the demonstration on the best way to change your guitar strings. Appreciated!!

The stretching of the strings is a crucial part to prevent the string from taking your eye out. Thanks Marty!

Saved to favorites! Thank you so much Marty appreciate this video very much. I live an absolute terror of having to change strings. Luckily I have a guitar shop nearby so I usually have them do it. The few times I have tried I screwed it up royally. End up cutting them too short or too long, bent strings and very bad wind on the spool ! And then I have to buy a whole new package because i screwed up one or two strings! Thanx

You're alright, Marty! Been playin 40 years, but everybody can use a basic refresher once in a while. Thanks, Brother!

Only video on here that actually helped. Thanks a lot Marty!!! Love from South Africa

Just changed my strings for the first time, thank you Marty!! v easy to follow guide

Really wish I came to Marty's video first. Never strung a guitar before and totally broke first string because of lack of instruction in other video I watched. Thank you marty for being the best guitar instruction video guy on youtube

THANK YOUUU! I finally re-stringed my guitar for the first time since I got it like a year ago. I know I should’ve done it sooner, since it was a used guitar, and idk when the last time it’s been re-stringed was until just now, but at least I did it!

This was so beneficial. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much. You save me from a lot of trouble to wind up strings.

I’m trying to fix my string before my mom kills me.

Great instructional video. Love the vintage stereo amp/receiver in the back. I had a Sansui 9090 back in 1976. Yours looks like a the vintage Marantz. Regardless, Great choice. Wish I still had mine. Had the same Tom Petty Album also, (LOL).

Thanks for this Marty 😊

I've been playing for a year and I just learned how to change my strings thanks to Marty.

Marty you're the best, great video, thank you so much

"Nice and toight, like ah toiga!!" 🤣🤣🤣

Perfect timing, dude! Just got a new (2nd) guitar, and the strings (med something, it seems) are making that wobbly sound, so I'm ready to put new (thin) strings on. This is a breedlove, though, and the pins are not pins, at all. They're screws!

Thanks Marty very informative. I welcome more.

Thanks Marty this was great. 👍👍🎸

my favorite youtuber guitar man! Just stretching the strings and all pro about it. I"m off to practice!

I literally just broke a string today! And I was looking for a video on how to change strings as I have always gotten it done from the local store here in Mumbai which is closed due to the whole COVID situation! This was just what I needed !!

I always have a thought time changing my guitar strings there either too slacky or cut them too short and mess up the whole set by one mistake my glad I find Marty to help with my guitar problems

o yeah man! Love your content - glad you make one of these. Finally broke my first string - I feel like I'm part of the club now. LoL thanks for the tutorial - and the dad joke.

For those of a particular mindset, I trim the old strings by the nut. The long section with the "ball" make for handy survival snares.

Best stringing tutorial 👌👍

Mahalo for the great tips! I must admit, changing strings is sort of fun..

Very helpful thank you

Great video Marty!

Love your content keep it up

thank you!

Keep it up, it's pretty amazing.

thank you so much Mr.Marty Love your videos and you're so funny!!!

I have this string changing tool too, I highly recommend

I legit did this yesterday and then Marty made a video today 🤯

Very excited for this one, as my string changes are poor

Thank you 🙏

That's a sweet SG, Marty. I use D'Addario NYXL's on my SG as well.

I love D'Addario products. My str8ng tool and cleaning products and strings are all D'Addario for my electric guitars and acoustic guitar as well as my violins and viola.

U r the man thank you

I took my SG apart at a beach in Long Island. Not wise, such little tiny doo dad parts. I believe I got them all, but I was so scared. I loved that guitar.

Thanks Marty

My tried and trusted method has always been to measure out the string and add around another inch / inch and half to it. I then pull the string backwards through the hole an inch / inch and a half and use that slack to do a ‘wrap around’ the tuning machine. I then begin to wind it to tension. It gives a good solid hold and I’ve never had any issues in all the years I’ve been doing it

Marty is the dooooopest!

Nothing like a new set of strings to liven up a guitar

Toit ... Like a Toiga! Is it bad that I finished the quote before you said it? Lol. "His Fasha Dr. Evil."

thanks Marty, you are so nice man, 🤘🤘

Get Marty! I love watching your videos, I have been struggling to find a lesson for REFUSED - Rather be Dead can you please upload a lesson in how to play it?

I learned how to play many songs using your vids

My setup is wire cutters and two sweaters. One sweater is balled up for the headstock and neck, and the other is folded and under the body.

love that shirt

Hey Marty, awesome video 🤘🏼. By any chance, can you make a lesson on "Personality Crisis" by The New York Dolls??

Very useful. Cheers :-)

That sg sounds insane

"Tonight their gonna hold the curtain" Marty's "tuning his guitar." 💖 🕊🕯☔️

I'm learning more about guitar on this channel as with 7 years of guitar lessons

That's a gorgeous guitar

blessed

Little pet peeve...bend the strings back downward before cutting...otherwise the ends will cut through your gigbag or snag other stuff. Otherwise great video as always Marty!

That intro sounded killer

I always wash my hands before I touch new strings. Also, Tip #6a: On Gibsons I wind the strings above, not below the previous wind to reduce the angle from the nut to the headstock. This helps the guitar stay in tune over time.

When he held up the three I immediately thought of the “read between the lines Theo” line from school of rock

Guys if Marty is doing a spot on string changes we should prob go ahead do some spring cleaning and get all ours done also. I switched to a 9.5 to 44exl D'Addario not a bad switch from the 10's not sure if they will stay on that strat but my Dean loves them.

I’ve noticed after years of restringing my guitars that improving my skills has done so much good for the tuning stability of my instruments. You can have high quality tuners, nuts & saddles, etc. but a shoddy restringing job will make it all worthless.

Thanks marty, now I don't have anxiety tuning the high E (i hope)

Marty can you do a video about setting the height of the guitar strings?

I would really love a lesson for "The Outlaw Torn" by Metallica, because I cannot find a good one+ Marty is probably my favourite teacher of all time. (Yes, I love Load)

Marty! I would’ve guessed a man of your playing caliper would surely be sporting some locking tuners on that bad boy SG! 🤣🤣🤣

I changed strings for the first time today and my lord I never realised how bad my old one's were til I had the new ones on

Can you make a video on acoustic guitar strings

When my wi fi is reinstalled I shall watch your videos

And that’s how you break em in folks 🔥

Marty please make a lesson on in the city by joe Walsh. Thanks!

Can you make a lesson of the beggining riff you Played?

Love your vids and love dadario and I suggest dadario to all of you guys

Hey Marty!

LemOil is good as well for cleaning the neck

can you do a tutorial of show must go on by queen please i would love that freddie will also

Do you have any videos for sharp fret edges?

Hey marty from canada.

So what are the signs that let me know when I should start thinking about changing strings?

… I went and deep cleaned my electric guitar, BTW: it’s a strat. I went to deep clean it and I took the top plate up which I had to like unscrew all 12-13 screws and I messed up the springs that the humbuckers sat on when I took the top plate off. So now every time I flip my guitar up side down to put the strings in or any time I’m holding my guitar the regular way I have to deal with the humbuckers leaning down and almost touching the strings, lol not really annoying.. super annoying😂. Honestly I came to u because well u taught me how to play guitar. and I’m hoping u have experience with this because I have no clue. Hope u see this comment!

thanks for the great video, Marty...i use D'Addario too ... XTE0942 now I only want to be able to "play in" my guitar like you do 😁
