The guitar is a unique musical instrument that is especially popular. With it, you can play literally any melody. The sound of this great instrument depends on many factors. For example, from the volume of the body, the resonant hole, or how the neck is adjusted. But the main factors are sound extractors, i.e. strings.
You will need
- - a set of new strings;
- - tuner;
- - tuning fork;
- - pliers.
Instruction manual
1
As you know, the strings are fixed on one side with a special stand mounted on the guitar body and the pecking mechanism located on the head of the neck, on the other. With the help of pegs, the strings are pulled, thereby regulating their sound.
2
To remove old strings, loosen all the pegs completely. Try not to do this very intensively so as not to spoil the ring mechanism. After the old strings have been removed, you can put new ones. The strings are divided into ordinary - at the heart of such metal and nylon. The latter are installed on a classical guitar, metal ones on acoustics. Nylon strings are very good for beginner guitarists. It is easier to take a chord on them, after the game your fingers will not hurt so much. The advantage of the metal is, of course, their sound. Such strings are most suitable for experienced users.

You can not put the strings in a chaotic order. There is a certain sequence, which must be unconditionally followed. When installing strings, it is recommended to tune them in parallel. There is a special device for this - a tuner. In memory of this, the sounding algorithm of each string is clogged. According to him, the tuner shows how much each string should be tightened so that the guitar tunes correctly.

In the absence of a tuner, the guitar can also be tuned manually - by ear. The sound of the first string is determined by the tuning fork. Visually, it resembles a slingshot. After the first string is tuned, go to the second. It is tuned by the fifth fret rule. That is, if you hold it in the fifth fret, it should sound in unison with the first. The third string is tuned to the fourth fret and second string. All subsequent ones - according to the fifth fret and the strings preceding them.

It is important to note that if such a case suddenly occurs that the first string breaks, then the sixth can be used as a spare. Of course, in the absence of the first. The sixth string is the first, only in a special winding. Twisting the winding is a slightly protracted process. For this work it is best to use pliers. The number of turns on the string is so large that it can take more than one hour. True, this applies only to metal strings. It is also not recommended to combine nylon strings with metal ones. Such a cross does not promise an amazing sounding instrument. If you take metal strings specifically, the best sounds are bronze and silver plated. In nylon, the sound is rather muffled.
note
The guitar is tuned not only by pulling and loosening the strings. To achieve the best effect, adjust the neck position as necessary.
Useful advice
The rotation of the pegs should be slightly tight so that the guitar is not upset during the game. If they randomly hang out, it is best to replace them.
