How do I replace Guitar strings? Take them off and put new ones on??

Detune down until the stings are too loose to play. Then get a pair of diagonal cutters and snip them and toss. Some players remove them intact and save them for backups but life is short and you’re replacing them because they are done in, right? Out with the old / in with the new!

This is a perfect time to clean the fretboard. Use a little mineral oil on a rag and give it a good wipe. Take an old toothbrush you either don’t use any longer or belongs to a room-mate you are mad at, and scrub off the buildup along the frets. Lower down you may want to clean the dust and stuff away from the pickups and pickguard. Anywhere that’s usually covered with strings.

The new strings should be in individual envelopes marked by gauge (size) Start with biggest to smallest, hook the little nub to the bridge end and the other end through the hole in the tunning peg. Hopefully you paid attention to which one was used for the corresponding string. Pull the string all the way thru the peg hole until it’s sort of tight in the nut (the little notches the stings sit in at the top of the fretboard).

Now wind the string around the tuning peg a few times to take up the slack and to keep it from slipping free when you turn the tuner.

You should have a bit of sloppy excess. Leave it until you have all the strings done. Some players leave it that way. But if you want to keep things tidy, after you have everything back in tune, use the cutters again to snip the excess away from the tuners.
