hi there I'm Thomas Michelle from Starla and guitar dot-com today I'm going to show you a quick tip on changing strings on your nylon string guitar now one of the trickiest Parts is tying the string appear on the bridge as well as tying it so it doesn't slip out on the where the machine heads are so I'm going to change the D string I'm going to put this D string on my guitar and let me show you a couple of tricks first and get the string unwound when you put the string here on the bridge this is a wound string slide it through give it a 23 inches wrap it around once and then slide it so that the string rest on top of the little end of the string and presses down on it it's going to hold it there with pressure see when I pull the string is on top of the small end of the string and it holds it down with pressure now I'm holding it with a little bit of pressure here as I inside here now these wound strings don't slip out this easel that's the unwound string so I'm tightening it and then I'm going to pull back just about two or three inches then pull out my string winder a must-have for changing strings and wrap it around now I'm looking to see see I have about two inches sticking out I'm trying to wrap it so that the string is nice and compact not flying all over the place oh that's a string line to this part takes forever until it's tight okay just getting it so it's tight enough I'm going to go and tune the string afterwards i'm not going to worry about that until I change all the strings but I want to get it so that if it's tight enough and it's not going to slip now because it's a while stirring it's probably not going to slip here if it was the unwound string I would want to do an extra not there which I can show you another video in fact if you like this and you need some more step-by-step process you might want to check out my blog at starline guitar calm and look for the video on step-by-step changing strings on nylon string guitar it's been the pleasure take care
