Questions & AnswersSTEVE ANTHONY: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Steve Anthony. I'm here in New York City. Today I'm going to talk a little bit about some beginning guitar picking techniques. We're talking about changing strings. Now, many guitar manufacturers color code the ball end of their strings so that you can tell which one is which. In this case, we're using the E string, which is the bottom string, the bottom E. Of course, there's a bottom E and a top E, but in this case, we're using the bottom E. We're placing the ball end of the string into the slot in the bridge and placing the bridge pin over the top of it, pressing down firmly but gently. So you run the string through the nut slot and couple of turns around the tuning post, slip the end of the string through the hole in the tuning post, pull it nice and snug, give the tuning key a few turns till it starts to sound like a guitar string. If you happen to have a peg winder laying around, it's going to save you a lot of time and arm ache, as you can see. So get yourself a peg winder. It's going to definitely come in handy for changing strings. Now, you tune it and you're back in business.
