GUITAR STRING MAINTENANCE

IF STRINGS ARE DIFFICULT TO PLAY OR DO NOT PLAY CORRECTLY:
Replacing guitar strings can remedy many problems involving poor sound. All strings can be changed at once or strings can be changed individually. To change a guitar string, the old string should be completely removed before attaching the new string. After the  new string is attached, the guitar will need to be re-tuned.

CHANGING STRINGS

REMOVING OLD STRINGS:

• To remove a guitar string, first, find the tuning peg; can get rid of tuning machine that the string is attached to. Loosen the string by winding the tuning peg until the string has no tension.
• Continue to wind the string loose until the string can be pulled loose from the top. The strings can be pulled out via the bridge at the bottom of the guitar.
• If you do not wish to use the old string again, you can cut the string near the middle of the strings via wire cutters. If you choose to do this, be careful and hold the string securely next to the cut; otherwise, the string may pop up and can potentially harm you.

INSTALLING NEW STRINGS:

• Remove the bridge pin of your guitar. Bridge pins can stick to the guitar, and may take some time to get off; the edge of a peg winder (available at any local music store) can be used to help. Locate the proper string to replace your old string. Then, from the end  of the string that does NOT have a ball at the end, feed the string through the bridge via the open hole exposed by removing the pin. Then, press the bridge pin back into place gently with the slot facing forward, and while holding your finger on the pin, run the  string through until the ball on the end of the string is flush to the bottom of the pin.
• Secure the string to the headstock end of your guitar via the tuning machine. To do so, make sure the eye/hole of the tuning machine is parallel to the neck/headstock of the guitar. Feed the string through the eye of the tuning machine, and pull the string  fairly taught. The string should have a bit of slack (about 1-2 inches).
• Secure the string to the tuning machine by winding the part of the string that has come out through the tuning machine back underneath the part of the string that is running between the bridge and tuning machine. Then, pull the string back up and over  the string running through the tuning machine (see diagram). The string should now be secure on the tuning machine.
• For the treble strings (G,B,E), keep the string tight against the post as you wind the string clockwise. For bass strings (E, A, D), wind the strings counter-clockwise.
• Begin to tune the string, winding the tuning peg until the desired sound is produced. After hearing the desired tune, pull the string lightly. The string will go slightly out of tune. Readjust the tuning peg until receiving the desired tune again. Repeat the  process a few more times. This will ensure that your string will stay in tune while playing.
• You may cut off the excess string, but it is important to leave some excess still attached (about ¼-1 inch) in case the guitar string needs to be restrung again.
  Remember, it is easy to cut more off later, but impossible to add string back.

GUITAR CARE

Dust and other foreign matter can harm the quality of your guitar. Make sure to regularly clean and maintain your guitar, including around the tuning pegs and bridge. To clean your guitar, use a dry, soft cloth. If desired, guitar polish can be bought from any  local music store. Do not leave your guitar exposed to the sunlight or elements, and be aware that guitars are made of wood and are therefore sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity, and altitude.
