Hi. I'm Bryan Billhimer and on behalf of Expert Village, today I'm going to show you how to re-string and tune a guitar. Okay, so after you've stretched your strings out the proper way like I showed you in the previous step, we're back in tune now, as you can hear with our chord. Now you're going to want to, this is kind of called fine tuning. You're going to want to play your guitar a little bit. Bend a couple strings. Kind of do some pretty crazy bends on each string. It's kind of another way of stretching it out but. Okay and you can see it's just a little out of tune now, so back to the electronic tuner. You just, just re-tune that. You can see down there how it's just a little flat. But we're close, we're getting, we're getting closer. This is definitely something you want to do. You definitely want to fine tune it before you go out, play a gig with it or whatever because putting new strings on it, it's definitely going to slip out of tune a little bit at the beginning. But hopefully by boiling our strings before we put them on, stretching them out and then fine tuning it, you should be in good shape before you go out to play your next gig. So there you have it. So I appreciate you hanging out with me and hopefully you learned how to re-string and tune your guitar in an efficient manner. So on behalf of Expert Village, I'm Bryan Billhimer and I'll see you next time.
