How Do You Tie Classical Guitar Strings?
Changing strings on a classical guitar is quite different from electric and acoustic guitars. One of the key steps in changing classical guitar strings is tying a proper knot over the bridge of the guitar. Tying a good knot can help keep your strings in tune quicker and keep your intonation in proper shape longer. Pull one end of the string through the empty string slot in the bridge of the guitar. Pull the string through from the fretboard side to the tail side of the guitar. Make sure about 5 inches of string is pulled through the bridge. Grab the end of the string that has been pulled through the bridge and pull it back over the bridge, towards the fretboard. Make and X shape with the other end of the string, keeping the short end of the string on the right side of the longer end of the string. This will create a “loop” over the bridge of the guitar. Pull the short end of the string through the loop you just created. Make sure you pull the string through the left-side of the X shape
