how do you put a string on a gutair?

Answer 1

is it an acoustic guitar?

if so - the string is attached to the body of the guitar by a pin. Gently pull the pin out of the body of the guitar. The string is looped over the pin, you simply take the broken string off and put the new string on, and replace the pin securely.
The on the other end where the broken string is attached to the tuning key, unwind the key until you can get the string off, and then place the other end of the new string into the hole in the key and wind it up until it's tuned.

Answer 2

For a steel stringed acoustic (see electric @ bottom)

STEP 1: Remove the broken string by popping out the pin on the bridge and unwinding it from the head. Discard the string.
STEP 2: Thread the ball end of a new string through the bridge and secure it with the pin.
STEP 3: Stretch the new string up the neck, into the nut and through the eye of the tuning machine on the head of the guitar. STEP 4: Sharply bend the string to help hold it in place on the peg.
STEP 5: Turn the tuning peg counterclockwise to tighten the string. Turn it at least one rotation. Make sure you don't turn it too tight.
STEP 6: While you turn the tuning peg, apply light pressure to the pin to keep it from popping out as tension develops.
STEP 7: Pull the string with your thumb and index finger to stretch the new string, then turn the tuning peg a bit to retighten it.
STEP 8: Use wire cutters to snip off the excess string, leaving about 1 or 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm). STEP 9: Tune the new string to the other strings or to a guitar tuner.

Xtra stuff:

To keep the sound of your guitar crisp and bright, change the strings every three months, more often if you play it a lot. Pros change their strings once a week.
Most electric guitars require that you thread the string through a hole in the back side of the body to the bridge. Thread the string through the tuning peg as you would on an acoustic guitar.

Answer 3

For an acoustic unwind the gear head until you can ease the string free,gently pry the peg out with something flat (butter knife) and a piece of cloth on the bridge to keep from marking it. Insert the end of the new string in the pin hole and reinsert the pin ,run the other end thrue the gear head and wind it back up leaving some slack so that you get a few winds on the pin before you get any tension. Most electric guitars have a tension bar that has holes thrue it .run the new string thrue the proper hole and follow the same moves as with the acoustic.Be sure the string lays in the proper notch in the nut.

Answer 4

Its slightly different for an electric and an acoustic, but basically you just connect the bottom end first and then feed the top end through the little hole in the spindle and tighten it up. Oh yeah, the trick is to loop it around a couple of times so it makes a knot.
