- Restringing your classical or nylon string guitar is simple. Here's a quick and easy video on how to put new strings on your guitar in just 3 minutes!
This video features the Cordoba Guitar's Orchestra Pro (cordobaguitars.com/orchestrapro ), Cordoba strings in normal tension and the Cordoba Clip on Digital Tuner (available at www.cordobaguitars.com/store ).
the large scale demonstration really helps
Anal Devastator Best part of the vid hand down!
Thanks, it was very helpful compared to some of the long length videos out there, I'm still not sure about knotting the strings at the tuners, is it possible to just wind them on so they don't slip?
Paint board, change background to dk gray.bigger rope, but Im..I'm... a bitch.
@@namron1106 I was gonna say the same thing
Hi, I'm the incredible shrinking man, welcome to my world. Sheesh
Something worth paying attention to-done correctly here, but not highlighted-is the direction to wind the string at the peghead. Look at the image around 2:40. You'll see that the outer strings (low and hi E) are wound toward the outside of the knot hole, while the other strings are wound inward, toward the center of the peghead. This is done to make the strings travel as straight as possible through the nut. -Tom
Great tip, these details make a big difference.
This song made me want to get into playing classical guitar more, it was cool hearing it in the intro 😊 Jose Gonzalez is a wonderful musician
Thank you for the best video I've seen on how to restring a classical guitar. I really liked the idea of showing the process with a bigger piece of wood, it becomes instantly clear what goes where.
Indeed- very easy to learn from your video. Thanks so much!
Well its been 5 days, but I've finished my 3rd string :D!!
:o
Lmao
I'm afraid to start, lol!
Hmmm...Its been 5 years.
Are you finished? 🧐
Bet those strings are still working :p
This is the clearest, most easy-to-follow tutorial I've seen. This is a great video to share with my students!
Would agree, also one of the shortest / quickest videos. Straight to the point.
i million thank you's for this. I have been stringing steel string acoustics for 30 years, but this was my first nyon string change. Your video was SO much help, especially using the big wood block as a visual aid. All the other videos I tried watching... I felt i needed a jewel's loop to see what was being done. thank you thank you thank you!
As commented by others, the large block and rope is SO HELPFUL! I'm looking at a nylon string classical guitar for Christmas, and I was really worried about putting new strings on, since I've only ever owned electric guitars. Thanks for your demo!
Just bought a new Cordoba at an auction of some store that closed. Hadn’t even strummed it yet and one of the strings just popped. It’s my first classical guitar so had to come to YT for help. This was helpful. Thanks.
This is really a helpful and illustrative and easy-to-following guide! It helped me change my 5th string in just 10 Mins, and it was my first time changing a string of a classical guitar. It turned out to be very successful! Thumbs up and thanks a lot!
Great video, thank you very much, I now learned and managed to change strings on my guitar for the first time! 😀
(Only took me about 1-3 hours but hey)
My beginners tip would be to MAKE SURE YOU ARE ABLE TO GET IT IN TUNE AND THAT THE KNOT HOLDS BEFORE YOU CUT OFF THE EXCESS STRINGS so you don't wobble for hours trying to make knots with very little excess string left if the knot doesn't hold (the nylon strings can be very slippery with the knots)
:) :) :) Hope this saves someone some frustration xD
This is an extremely useful tip! Thanks!
Short, simple, easy to see and accurate! Thank you!
An instructional video that actually instructs without shouting, jumping around, making a fool of themselves. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Nice choice of song. Ive strung guitars like this before but needed a refresher. I really found this useful and love how you did the enlarged version too! Thanks
WOW. The demonstration with a block is fantastic.
Best tutorial ever for this topic!
The other videos were insanely confusing with their hands covering the process of the tying if the string or they didnt explain clearly.
The tie block was what helped me alot.
thanks so much you helped me a lot one string took about 2 minutes (with tuning) you are the king bro keep going
Been turning away nylon restring jobs because I was scared and it looked complicated but it's actually alot easier than I thought.
Definitely more confident to do this now
what a brilliant way to demonstrate this! thank you.
That's about as straightforward and illustrative as one can get.Thank you!
Very simple, easy to understand, and useful demonstration. Thank u for sharing!
Well done! Especially like the "enlarged illustration" demonstration! Thank you for a great video.
Brilliant. Why no one else has thought of this I don't know. Many thanks for the clearest instructional video I've seen.
Thank you very much, not just for the lesson but for the way you presented it. I specifically just wanted to know how to correctly tie the knots but Im having problems with my computer speakers which didn't matter in the end because the visual presentation was so clear and concise.
actually changed my 1st string ever in 5 mins...thank you for making it so easy!!!:)))
Just thank you so much for giving an oversized example that I could actually follow wonderfully done❤
Very helpful and concise. The large block and rope demonstration was extremely helpful; excellent idea.
I am impressed by the example you put together. It is hard to see the details with hands n other strings in the same small areas so Ty!
So easy! It put me off owning a classical for years not understanding how to string one. Excellent tutorial 👌
Thank you for the simple, short, to the point clip. People stress SO much over the atom splitting algebranometry involved, and the knowledge and skill it takes to do this extremely complicated task. When it's actually easier than tying your shoe.
This is by far the most precise and effective video for this purpose. 👍 I've watched other videos but find them too lengthy, they explain about how to choose and buy strings yadda yadda.. this video briefly explained exactly what I needed 🙂
Finally, a very clear demonstration. Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial. One of the best tutorial on UA-cam -- if not the best.
The very best tutorial, imho. I have seen 6 or 7 and this is by far the best for my education. Then again, I just learned how to tie my shoes.
Even after drinking beer I can do this thanks to you, so thorough with the string example. You Sir are a very helpful and we ow3 you much gratitude. Very well done Mate.Thank you very , very much my friend.
Thanks :) I haven't been playing for long and recently broke a string, this video was a massive help and now I can play again :D
Clear presentation + succinct = outstanding
best tutorial on how to change the classical guitar strings ever created!! million thanks
Great video, thanks! Simple and effective.
Thanks! Will be attempting my first tomorrow and this really helps especially with the large block.
Best demo for doing this by far.
Thank you for such clear, concise instructions.
Super simple and clear. Very many thanks
Very, very helpful, thanks. For some odd reason i was doing a much difficult version of this. Didn't know it could be so easy.

Straight to the point and clear. Thanks!
No nonsense, very clear demonstration.
I love Cordoba! Very helpful video!
Thank you, worked flawlessly. Now I can actually get my guitar in tune again :D

Thank you for a brilliant demonstration. I'm about to attempt changing the strings on my 1/2 size guitar and now I feel reasonably confident that I won't screw it all up! Thanks!

Good simple explanation. Thank you.
Thank you. Just bought my first classical guitar and was wondering how this was done. Very helpful!
I've seen your DR650 vids. Small world, that's funny.
THIS IS GENIUS!!!
Very simple to understand, thanks.
Excellent... thanks for the "larger view". That was very helpful!
Thank you! It really helped me a lot.
thank you, quick and clear!
I use Ball End Nylon Strings which make restringing the Guitar a Snap and it also lets the strings come out of the bridge at a steeper angle over the saddle. They do make Classical Guitar bridge beads which could allow you to convert Tie End Nylon Strings into Ball End Nylon Strings
Very helpful thanks!
Thank you very clear and nice explanation.
Thanks so much for your lesson!
This was super easy for a complete beginner like me. Didn't find any toutorials more simple
Wow, I’ve been trying for 3 hours with these new nylon strings. Your tutorial is the only one that I could truly see because of the large scale demonstration. Thank you so much for posting!!!
Hahahaha.. When u took that giant bridge its really really funny... Smart zoom in way mate... Thanks a lot.. This the best changing nylon strings ever lol
Thank you for this video
Thanks for all of it Cordoba
