I owe all of you an apology.

A few weeks ago I sent out a newsletter article about changing strings.

What I didn’t say was that it was about when to change strings!

Of course, if you didn’t get the newsletter, this is news to you! (You can sign up for it here and also get a free guide!)

I believe more than one of you would like to learn, or at least brush up on, how to change your strings!

Good news, here is your chance!

Save yourself a few bucks, and precious time, by having to take it to a music store and do it yourself!

I made this exclusive video for all of you to show how it is done.

It is important to know that I show how to change the strings using my acoustic guitar.

However….

Pay special attention to the part about stringing through the bridge. That is where the electric guitars differ from most acoustic guitars. I go through most of them but it is still possible you might have something different and unusual. Let me know if I missed anything.

Also,

Stringing through the tuners is the same for most all guitars except those that have locking tuners. I show you how that is done on my PRS guitar. Check it out if you think you have this style on your guitar.

At the end I do show some extra details for all of you stratocaster owners to be aware of.

The video is long but it does have step by step instructions for you that you will find useful.

Of course, we do start things out with a little funny business! Click the link above (or below) to get started:
