I use example #3 on my wound strings. On my plain strings l wind 2 winds above the hole/ string then 2-3 wraps under the string. It helps keep the plain strings in tune better.
Thanks for the quick and simple video. I hadn't changed my strings in a long time and wasn't sure about the best way to do it. I chose #2, seems nice and easy to get the string off when it breaks.
I always used method 3 in an intuïtive way... no one never told me how to do it. So I guess that is kind of logic to do so. In the past I did a lot of windings till somebody told me the windinges can also stretch a long period which makes your guitar detunes more easily. Since then I did less windings. For the wounded strings 2 or 3.... the low E string defintely 3 times for when you change to drop tuning. And the unwinded strings 3 to 4 times because they slip out more easy... and more windings because they stretch less as winden strings... I have that impression...
I was taught to so the old "lock" method, but I switched to the over/under several years ago myself. I don't have tuning issues and definitely easier for changes. Thanks for watching!
I had been using the bend and lock but I notice all guitars I buy..when they arrive(probably never been re-stringed) use method 3. I think that looks better and is easier.
When I started working in big shops we all had to agree on everything. That's when I adopted method 3. At the same time they adopted my method of attaching the treble strings on a classical guitar. There are more stringing videos to make!
Thank you for posting this. I think I'm going to swap to method 3 for now. Love your videos!

I especially appreciate this tip as I begin restringing my 12-string!

Good info!
THANK YOU so much!

I have always used method 2, but I will try method 3 next string change.
Let me know what you think!
How to do the 1st and 2nd strings. The rest are no brainers
I dislike method 1, made a career out of method 2, but I have adhered to method 3 for many years.
Ken Bennett I’ve been doing 3 lately, faster changes, smoother wraps, less slip. Or maybe it’s just because it’s faster that I like it most. 😀

@@a1guitarmaker hey! that comment made me wonder the way you attach the treble strings on a classical guitar, is there some cool special secret to it?
Method 1 is too much work and not needed. That locking nonsense is a waste of time...
I agree. string tension keeps things in place without needing to crochet. :)
