In this post, we will provide the information you need to correctly store, maintain, and care for your guitar, including the six-string. we will tech you how to change the strings and what llittle extras to keep in your guitar case. First of all, we are going to teach you how to change the guitar strings. Old strings sound dull and lifeless and might even break when you are tuning the guitar so you'll need to change the strings once in a blue moon and this is how you should do it: 1. You remove the old string by snipping it off with wire cutters or by loosening the string so much that you can grab the string from the center and pull it off the post.
2. Attach the string to the bridge, place the end of the new string and pop out the bridge pin,
3. Place the end of the new string that has a brass ring inside the hold that held the bridge pin.4. Wedge the bridge pin firmly back in the hold with the slot facing forward.
5. Pull gently on the string until the brass ring rests against the bottom of the pin. Keep your thumb or finger on the pin so that it doesn't pop out and disappear into the abyss.
And there you have it, your new string! Your new strings always sounds better then the old one, so carrying on changing strings and you could master the "art" of six-string changing!
