hey everybody can rustle here today I'm going to show you how to string up your guitar or you basically make locking tuners so there's no slipping of the strings it's a really awesome technique check it out well I was changing my guitar strings here and decided I would show you my method on how I change guitar strings so that take normally normal tuners that are not locking tuners and turning them into kind of a locking tuner with the way that I wrapped the string alright I've already got my strings put in to my bridge so I'm going to just kind of one by one pull these up but basically what we're gonna do is push the string in and if you can get it where the pole goes and kind of straight this way and what you're gonna do is take the D the piece here and maybe live leave just a little bit of slack so that it wraps around just a little bit but you don't need a ton so I'll see here kind of we're given I'll you know I don't know if you can see that or not but it's maybe maybe enough to put a couple fingers and pull it up just a little bit but not like a knot up way up here you know lifting it up a bunch we're just kind of you know a little bit of a little bit of slack enough to get your fingers in there then over here we're gonna do is take your finger push down here so you're the slack is is it's constant you know it's not going to slip they're going to take the string and feed it underneath so you know these are all you know six and aligned tuners you're going to kind of if you had three and three in the side and you'd always kind of point towards the middle so on a strat you're going to always point this way but if you had you know the these three on this side you would you would do this that way if that makes sense so you're always going to kind of go in like this so we're going down the middle then we're wrapping around again okay so we went we took it we went around underneath this string and then over and what it's doing is it's creating like a little lock right here so that when I wrap this it will actually wrap over that string right there and it clamps it down or there's no way for it to go so let me show you what the I'm gonna just kind of do this real fast and so you can see see the process on these again giving a little bit of tension I'm gonna give a little bit more a little bit more slack I mean so you can see what I mean by the loop around so I'm kind of crimping it a little bit going underneath and then over like that and so I'm then that will lock itself when I tighten this up you so I'm pushing down so that I'm rapping kind of under then hopefully you can kind of see this in the angle that I've got here but I'm going underneath that string right there so see I went under that I'm not going to go on top of it so yeah that's kind of underneath that that's what you want to do yeah let's go and finish this up real fast crimp the angle that just gets a good good spot for it to lock down on so I'm locked down they go over and then just kind of push my thumb down a little bit there just to make sure that that gets on there keep my attention again making sure on this side I'm going underneath so both of those I went under under hopefully you can kind of see them sorry it's not the best camera angle here but you get the idea you can see kind of what's happening here again I'm going so on the on these guys you know if you were basically whatever side you're winding it on you know so like I'm all these you can see they're wound on this side that's where you angle this over but you know if you're on like a Gibson Les Paul or something where that was three and three under tuners you know this would be on this side and so I would it would be wound on the inside instead of on this side so I would actually pull it this way and go underneath it does that make sense hopefully so anyway here we go once you have that that crimped a little bit you you can kind of loosen up the tension you'll be okay because you it already has that angle made thank you this one I left a lot of slack so you can really see what I mean by looping it around see how those all they're all looping underneath each other they're not like going up one two over and ones under okay last one here by the way these these are these little string trees these are the the spinning ones and I really like them they they are they're nice these little spinning string trees and do very very good they don't stick as much if you're bending a string or if you're using your whammy bar every time you're bending the string putting pressure it's trying to move back and forth that's kind of going this way slightly I mean it's you know microscopic almost but it's there it's moving so another thing you can do is take some graphite from a pencil and put that on the string trees and it will it will help out with that as well just because graphite makes it real slick okay once I got these on if I can find my little cutters and you just take them and just snip up here there you go and now I'm just getting her up stretch the strings a little bit and we're in good shape I'm looking forward to playing this guy hopefully you liked this video
