Changing your guitar strings:
Whoops, you’ve broken a string! Not to
worry, strings are easy to replace. You’ll need
to buy a set of nylon guitar strings from your
local music store. First, remove what’s left of
the broken string. Then, select the string of
the same gauge (or thickness) from the set
of spare strings and secure one end of the
string to the bridge as shown in the diagram.
Next, thread the other end of the string
through the hole in the tuning peg. Leave a
little “tail” sticking out of the hole. Then, while
keeping some tension on the string,
tighten it by turning the tuning peg in a
clockwise direction and bury the “tail” with
wraps of the string as it winds around the
tuning peg. Once the string is secured, you
can you can ask a grown-up to trim off any
excess at either end. Then, tune it according
to the instructions provided. New strings
tend to stretch. You will probably have to
retune it several times before it stays in tune.
