And then again when we turn the tuning knobs, turn them away from… you will notice that the strings here are, when they are circling around, that the string here is on the bottom level, and it will spot out its way up to the top, that will make sure that it locks and does not slip on you later and go out of tune.
You take some wire clippers and clip off the ends here, when you are finished. And then in addition what I would like to do once I get a new pair of strings on is, I like to grab the string and loosely, you don’t want to rip the string off, but I like to bend it, and the way that I do that here is I just put my fingers under here, and I am just bending the string there, and I do that all the way down just to help stretch out the string a little bit, so that when I am playing the string it does not loosen itself out, and go out of tune.
So I just do that as a precautionary thing, and it tends to stay in tune a little bit better. Now recognize that when you do that, it is going out of tune, so you got to tune back up. Okay, so that is a couple of tips that I find useful mainly when I am stringing my guitar.
In case you didn’t see the video in part 1 of this series… here it is again.
