Remember that on one end of the 6th string (Base-E), there is a loosely wound two inches and that end is used on the bridge (the bottom side of the guitar) for easy tying. Just make sure that all of the loosely wound part is brought under the bridge, through the hole. You don't want that part producing any of the vibration/sound.
This was my very first time changing the strings on my old classical guitar and your video was super helpful ! Thanks for the short and simple demonstration , I appriciate it very much sir 🌻
Γεια σου Νίκο! Είχα πολλά χρόνια να πιάσω την κιθάρα μου και, ενώ είχα κάνει αυτή την κίνηση δεκάδες φορές δεν μπορούσα να θυμηθώ πως δένουμε τηχορδη στο κάτω μέρος. Με ξεμπλοκαρες!Πολλά ευχαριστώ!
Thank you so much for this! I'm a beginner and it was my first time re-stringing my guitar. This video was so helpful and told me everything I needed to know!
This is extremely helpful! I've been re-stringing and setting up electrics for years, but don't have any experience with classicals. Going to try out this method soon! Instructions are very clear and detailed. 🤘Efharisto Nikos!
Thank you very much. You ere the only one who didn't block the view while you were giving the demonstration. I have an older Amigo AM-40 classical guitar by Lotus made, inade in Romania. I finally bought some D'Addario Pro Art' EJ-45's to put on it. Never used them before. I haven't put strings on it in forever, but it has a really nice tome. I'm not sure I like these strings. It's a more muted sound so we will see how long they remain. Any way the point: Great vid straight and to the point. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this! I'm a beginner and it was my first time re-stringing my guitar. This video was so helpful and told me everything I needed to know! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
6/10! Obviously nice chap but some issues Music too loud Fingers in the way Do you do the double tuck on the bridge with only the 1st e string or all first 3 strings - not obvious. No mention of which way to tighten strings
Thank you so much! I was able to fully restring a guitar in desperate need of a string change and tune it. I'm teaching myself to play while in college, and the one I brought from home has laid in disuse for... years. Thanks for helping me get it back to being playable!
Super helpful! Really enjoyed the layout for this one. I'd been struggling with figuring out the method in my head before I got stuck in so this was a great place to start.
This was so helpful. I was restringing my classical guitar and could not get the trebled to stop slipping as I was using high tension strings for the first time. Your video fixed this right away. Thank You so much!! 👍😊
Nice Video, but I missed that the new strings first should still be stretched with your fingers/hand, to get an optimal tuning without loosing time☝️ (and sorry for my 55 years old "School-English"! 🙈 Greetings from Germany🤘
It so nice to see this - a great, fresh way compared to how I have re-strung my guitars for years ^^. Is there any particular set you’d recommend? Thank you 🎵
I literally followed every step but for some reason the last string when I wind it goes out of tune? like it will be okay but then a few minutes later it goes back down to a lower tone? but also though Im not sure why the more I go up the fret to play chords or single notes the sound gets stuck and plays out of tune?? any suggestions anyone please? thanks In advance! :)
So basically its like the first step when tieing your shoe? (cris/cross and through the loop) but you do it twice. In a nutshell its your standard basic double knot ...thats all it takes? It'll hold?
Each time i change strings on the tuning peg when i make a knot to tie it around and tune it beacause i dont have any mechanical tuner or that tuner thing plastic i just use my fingers to turn the tuning peg up and each time first time the string goes around the peg it has like wiggly first circle all other ones after that follow nice and snug its quite hard to explain but i have it for years beacause im not the best at installing new strings but it never brakes or goes out of tune. Matter of fact my guitar never is out of tune.
Thanks for the video, it was a great help! This was my first time restringing a classical guitar, and the lack of ball end strings made me very uncomfortable.
I have a problem with the high E-string. It always either slips through the hole at the bridge cause the knot tightens under too much pressure or it slips out of the tuner hole...🤷🏼♂️😅 The other strings worked perfectly normal.
what can I do to no get any string slipping. My expensive flamenco got a whip from it & now I have to try to fix dent on my own. Need advice. Please share
I will try, I poped my strings twice already so I have to buy new strings. First I am goinf to seee about see if they will fix the one string since I paid money foe the a string to pop on me. Normally they do a good job with it, so I am wondering if its my guitar.
It's NORMAL at first. Nylon strings stretch A LOT when they're brand new. As they stretch, they will go flat. The solution is to play them for a while and re-tune constantly, soon enough the strings will finish stretching and the instrument should hold its tune for a reasonable amount of time (well, assuming the guitar isn't shit). Optionally, to speed up that stretching time you can also do big bends or even pull on each string. Example: pull on a string 2-3 times, tune back to pitch, then repeat it a couple times for each string. I hope that helps :-) Rock on!
Hi, grest video! Questinon.....My tuner is broken. Found a replacement but the peg shafts (posts) are smaller in both length and diameter. Are they critical? What is the acceptable tolerance?
when I go to tune them, my strings are super loose (tied properly on both ends) and it takes almost no tuning to get them tuned to the right note, but then they’re loose even at the right note?
Hello. I have a quetion query and hope someone can help me out. I hope someone could tell me the purpose of the ‘eye’ or eyelet - like the ones found on sewing needles to thread the thread - at one end of the Knobloch strings? I haven’t come across these kind of strings before, Knobloch are made in Spain and one feature I like is that they tune and settle in a question of hours, a day or 2. Obviously it is somehow made like that to make string up easier or more secure, but I cannot decide which end it is supposed to be used, bridge nut or tuners’ in the headstock? Even then I am mot sure exactly how one is supposed to proceed. I need an expert.
He mentions that by doing one at a time, you maintain consistent tension on the neck from the other five. That might not matter much, but it's a reason, anyway.
Why does the E, A, D low strings in a classical guitar string looks like a metal? Or is there something i dont know? Can someone clarify that part for me thanks!
they are wrapped or plated with thin silver or other types of metal. It’s confusing if you look at them, but as soon as you play them you’ll clearly feel they are not actually metal, just plated. Why, I have no idea, my guess is it just sounds better.
Never ever use a steel string on a classical guitar meant only for nylon strings!!! If you do, you will irreparably destroy the guitar, and you will have a search and destroy team looking for you!!
Remember that on one end of the 6th string (Base-E), there is a loosely wound two inches and that end is used on the bridge (the bottom side of the guitar) for easy tying. Just make sure that all of the loosely wound part is brought under the bridge, through the hole. You don't want that part producing any of the vibration/sound.
Thanks I was about to asking that question. I have always done it that way just by intuition, but always wondered if it was wrong
First time re-stringing my guitar without ball-end strings, worked like a charm! Thank you so much.
Its official, im losing my mind
i cant see anything move your finger
LOL
Focus bro focus 😂
😂
heather heather heather
Acting like the video’s in real time 😂
Always have issues with changing strings, specially with slipping on nylon strings, this was very helpful.
Thank you. This is my 3rd time restringing the guitar and this was the first time e string didn't hit me in the face/hand.
This was my first time attempting and yep that happened lol. Damn it
Seeing the comment section, I'm glad I'm not the only one going crazy
Should I get it professionally fixed or fix it myself bcuz i do not have the tools(extra Strings)
Invaluable stuff. Long live Moussaka!
Simple and efficiënt. A must see for all beginners (and more advanced) players.
Great tutorial. Worth noting that when you're tuning the guitar after it helps to stretch the strings out to help them settle.
I know
Knowing my luck I'd pull too hard and they'd snap, I'll just play until they settles naturally lol
Thanks for this. Just restrung a nylon guitar for the first time. Had no idea you had to tie knots on each ends.
Super helpful, I don't need to go to the guitar shop to fix a broken string, Thank you for the tutorial!❤
"There is not only one way of doing it" sound very sympathetic, and quite a bit different from many vids I've seen here.
This was my very first time changing the strings on my old classical guitar and your video was super helpful ! Thanks for the short and simple demonstration , I appriciate it very much sir 🌻
Glad it helped!

This made it so easy thnx
Thank you yet again. I guess its the 12th time I use this guide.
Thank you my friend. You've helped me. Best wishes.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ από την Αγγλία 👍🇬🇷
thanks this was helpful. Only thing else I would wish for is to hear you pluck each string so I know what 'octave?' to tune it to. I'm rusty
Anyone know what song is playing in the background it sounds so good
It’s been a long time since I changed strings on a classical. This was super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
That was so much easier than i thought it would be

Thanks. I never never tied to winder. And didn't know proper way to tie string up at end. Knowing macrame and crochet, like half-hitches.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you.
thanks, this helped
Thank you for this video.

Move your fingers man .

Music too loud
Fingers in the way

No mention of which way to tighten strings
Thank you so much I broke the E string on my guitar and this helped I thought I was fucked
So helpful I had no idea I always play electric❤
Thanks my dear
Thank you for the video sir
Welcome!
bro ive watched it 8 time and still dont know what im doing lmao
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you for a very clear tutorial!!
Very good video, easy to understand.
Super clear, thanks so much!!

I learned 2 new elements. Thanx!
massive help! Couldn't figure out how to restring, beginner player. Thanks so much!
Finally found one that I could follow along with and was able to get my string in and tuned!
You didn’t say, but for the treble strings, do they ALL go through the bridge twice to avoid slipping? Or just the high E?
Its just the high E
Solid guide. Cheers.
Great video easy to follow nicely produced...
Thank you!
Super helpful! Really enjoyed the layout for this one. I'd been struggling with figuring out the method in my head before I got stuck in so this was a great place to start.
Thank you so much for showing this technique. I was worried about the tying method and type of knots. Greetings fae Scotland 🏴
Thanks for this excellent tutorial, brother!
Bass E and Treble E strings are wound from the tuner hole outward to keep the string travelling in a straight line...
did it, tysm!
Thanks!
This was so helpful. I was restringing my classical guitar and could not get the trebled to stop slipping as I was using high tension strings for the first time. Your video fixed this right away. Thank You so much!! 👍😊

Thank you. Great video
Thank you so much for your video.
Glad it was helpful!
Good work
Thank you so much 😀
I bought a new set cause the firs one broke. I broke again the first new one while tuning 😭😭😭😭😭
Same here😔🙏
Thank You so much! It was very helpful.
Useful guide, thank you. Just restrung a classical for the first time
NB! dont cut before tuning just wasted 15€ cuz G string slipped and now i cant loop it on top fml
Wonderful thanks

Because the string is new it isn’t used to being tuned so it unwinds more. Just keep tuning it
@@AradYar Thanks for your reply! any idea on why the sound gets out of tune and stuck the more I go up the fret?
Hey, did you fix it?
@@nixonprod unfortunately not :/ do you have any advice?
@@nycewiddit not really, if it keeps happening then i should visit a guitar store
Thank you for the lesson!
So basically its like the first step when tieing your shoe? (cris/cross and through the loop) but you do it twice. In a nutshell its your standard basic double knot ...thats all it takes? It'll hold?
At 1:30 you say "over the nut" when you are running the string over the saddle.
Each time i change strings on the tuning peg when i make a knot to tie it around and tune it beacause i dont have any mechanical tuner or that tuner thing plastic i just use my fingers to turn the tuning peg up and each time first time the string goes around the peg it has like wiggly first circle all other ones after that follow nice and snug its quite hard to explain but i have it for years beacause im not the best at installing new strings but it never brakes or goes out of tune. Matter of fact my guitar never is out of tune.
Thanks for the video, it was a great help! This was my first time restringing a classical guitar, and the lack of ball end strings made me very uncomfortable.
I would mention that double looping of the last string a bit earlier instead of at the end of the video.
I have a problem with the high E-string. It always either slips through the hole at the bridge cause the knot tightens under too much pressure or it slips out of the tuner hole...🤷🏼♂️😅
The other strings worked perfectly normal.
all my treble ties dont look to be exacly behind the bridge. should i worry? will they go out of tune or is it more a danger of them coming untied?
what can I do to no get any string slipping. My expensive flamenco got a whip from it & now I have to try to fix dent on my own. Need advice. Please share
I feel like I'm putting a fishing line lol
I will try, I poped my strings twice already so I have to buy new strings. First I am goinf to seee about see if they will fix the one string since I paid money foe the a string to pop on me. Normally they do a good job with it, so I am wondering if its my guitar.

Mine does that AND IDK what to do 😭

Hi, grest video! Questinon.....My tuner is broken. Found a replacement but the peg shafts (posts) are smaller in both length and diameter. Are they critical? What is the acceptable tolerance?
This is so clear, so straight forward, everything shown, and appropriate time length! Love the suggestion to do one string at a time! Thank you!
when I go to tune them, my strings are super loose (tied properly on both ends) and it takes almost no tuning to get them tuned to the right note, but then they’re loose even at the right note?

How about guitar with bridge pins sir?
I'm struggling as if I'm fighting a north Americain Karen 💀💀
For the first part. I can't do knote😭
nothing will happend to the string if you cut it?
Any reason for not cutting and discarding all the old 6 strings first?
He mentions that by doing one at a time, you maintain consistent tension on the neck from the other five. That might not matter much, but it's a reason, anyway.
I want to ask why my high e string the tune is stuck on b sound, can you help me?
Why does the E, A, D low strings in a classical guitar string looks like a metal? Or is there something i dont know? Can someone clarify that part for me thanks!
they are wrapped or plated with thin silver or other types of metal. It’s confusing if you look at them, but as soon as you play them you’ll clearly feel they are not actually metal, just plated. Why, I have no idea, my guess is it just sounds better.
My string is laying against the top threat and that makes it so that it don’t sound as it should. Do anyone know how to fix?
Welp i tried this method amd it worked well but the strings keep going off tune every 5 min. Is that ok? And if yes when will it stop?
I know its a late reply but thats normal, it takes a few weeks for the strings to warm up and they’ll eventually need tuning less and less frequently
Thank you SO much!
The sun keeps getting in my eyes....😂
No stretching?
Thank you so much bro
I love you bro❤
Thanks for creating a how to vid where you can't actually see the most important bridge tie part.... This is useless! Good job team👍
Can use steel string..???
Never ever use a steel string on a classical guitar meant only for nylon strings!!! If you do, you will irreparably destroy the guitar, and you will have a search and destroy team looking for you!!
