And not someone that involves turning, twisting and stuff I watched at the guitar shop, they just put it in, held a finger or something on and turned You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

All the methods will involve turning and twisting though You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Watch from 3:00 I use the method he uses for the low E on the Low E and A and the one he uses for the A string on all the rest You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I don't put more than 2 or 3 wraps on the low E so it doesn't get messy. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I will buy new strings soon and I'll remember to make a vid with the procedure You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Out of curiosity, how do you guys place the strings in the floyd - do you cut the ball end or place the string in such a way that it goes through the hole in the headstock while leaving the ball end there and placing the free end into the floyd slot?

I put the string in the peg's hole without letting the bend go through and then from the other end I put another hard bend in the string way over 90 degrees. Then You can literally lift the guitar up with the string and it won't come off. Plus its a breeze when you're taking the strings off because you don't have to deal with untying knots I'll find a video for you, I learned this off a youtube video.
