The proper way to restring a guitar by Bill Baker
Guitar Tech Bill Baker of NJ teaches you his way to restring an electric and acoustic guitar along with tips to clean, lube, and check over your guitar so you can get the best from it. Bill has done work for BLUE CHEER, Ace Frehley of KISS, The MISFITS, Richie Ranno of STARZ, Leslie West, The NERDS, and many more to name his top clients and friends. That's "BIG BENDS Nut Sauce" I'm using as a lube, and it's the best I've found. More on that product in the next video coming soon on ...

Thank You for watching!
now that’s nice to see a real pro show us. you say misfits and ace frehley i’m like “ok. then i can trust him !”
btw what kind of lube do you use here ?
Lol new string each week?, i once used the same strings for about 5 months and they sounded like new D:
It may sound new to an untrained ear..
Umm… 5 months?
You must be kidding. If you don’t hear a difference then surely you must feel a difference.
hey thnx friend for sharing
Thanks mate, you just made re-stringing a pleasure again
Bill is the best!!
shit i just put them on lol
you mean you can tune the strings on a guitar?…thats what I been doin wrong!
arent you supposed to restring it ever 6-8 weeks? Bill is probably talking about someone who is in a band and plays for 2 or 3 hours hard every day
fuck haha me too. goddammit.
yeah i did that haha. i thought you only restring it when you break a string. but i got a les paul and the guy told me to do it every 3 weeks. (i play all day every single day.)
That’s what I’m thinking
exclnt. ur a total pro. later teache me how 2 play satisfaction. u rock.ur HOT
If you are in a band you should put on new strings for EVERY gig. Playing a dead set of strings on stage is not only dumb, it’s unprofessional. I’m sure the venue will give you $7 for strings.
Thanks,I always get my mate to set up my new guitars, even though I can’t play properly (my strings have been on for 6-7 years, think I can change them properly myself.(all I have to do is learn to play properly)
Hey Thanks this method word amazing on every string cept the top two. Does anyone know why? They just kept slipping and never gained tension help pleaseeeee would be so much appreciated
Ah I think I realized you lifted the G string up when doing that but you didnt with bottom E right
there are so many “thats what she said”‘s in this video.. good vid tho.. thanks
make sure the strings are rightly wrapped (stacked) on top of each other with no gaps, no crossing etc…this will allow the string to keep slipping.
Thank you very much man. I’ve been trying different ways to string a guitar but now with your help I’m string guitars the professional way. My friends are even paying me to do it.
Thanks a lot man!! I’ve been messing around changing strings for years. Finally I have the perfect method. Your video has been MORE than helpful
this guy fixed my guitars twice xD
Is it okay to use WD40 for lube?
