Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this guide is going to be your go-to. I'll walk you through the essential tools you'll need, pinpoint the right time to change those strings, and of course, step-by-step instructions to get it done.

Man I’m glad you clarified string stretching. I’ve seen videos where they insist you grab them; I say to myself, “I don’t care if it’s the right thing to do, no way I’m gonna do that.”

Back in the archaic days of landlines, I used the telephone to tune. The dial tone is an A.

Excellent tutorial. Bending the ball end and lubricating the nut slots make perfect sense. Thank you for this.

I love changing the strings. It’s like the new car smell except for the ears. Bright sound.

How refreshing to hear you killing the 'only one string at a time' dragon !! I've been playing since the 1960s and I've ALWAYS removed all the strings. Time after time the paranoid say 'Oh you shouldn't', so thanks again.

Fun fact: Luthiers hate the "luthier" knot. Seriously. We really hate it. It is an unnecessary step that is irritating to deal with. I've not spoken to another pro luthier that uses it, or even that doesn't strongly dislike it. I don't think my ways are the "right" way, I wasn't trained that way. That knot is just one of the myths you mentioned in pretty much every other step. And I gotta say, it makes me so happy to see someone use the pull back method for string length instead of measuring by the tuning posts. I think I've seen one other video on here that does that. It is far more consistent than the tuning posts. I pull back one fret for guitar and two for bass.

This is the most comprehensive and accurate guide to string changing I've seen. I have slight differences but this is basically my process. I'll definitely share.

Sometimes the saddle can fall out, it you have a piezo pickup. I had this happen once and I accidently broke the piezo in half during the scramble to find the saddle. That'll make you use some words that aren't family friendly. Sometimes there isn't always a nice flat surface to lay your axe on during a string change. I have restrung them while standing on a guitar stand, laying on my lap while bouncing down the road in a bus, etc.
