If you start learning to play the guitar, thenwill have to learn how to string the strings correctly. It would seem that everything should be simple, but for some reason many guitarists complain about their musical instruments: "Guitar is upset too quickly, the system does not hold!" At the same time, you might think that the fault is cheap hardware or an inexpensive tool. But the accessories have nothing to do with it, but you just need to know how to string the strings correctly on the guitar.
To begin with, there are different types of strings.They are metallic and synthetic (nylon). The first is, as a rule, strings for electric guitars or tools of reinforced construction (with the presence of an anchor). Of course, they are brighter than nylon ones, but they should not be installed on a classical guitar. Without following this owl, you can even damage the musical instrument, which is not cheap. Metal strings need to be tightened more than synthetic (nylon) strings.
What difficulties usually encounter a guitaristat the beginning of training? How to stretch the strings in such a way as to prevent them from slipping out of the roller and how to fix them on the stand? Let's talk first about how to pull nylon strings. For beginning guitarists, they fit better, are more durable and installed on a classical guitar. Also after playing on such an instrument, fingers do not hurt much.
Begin with the fastening of the string tostand. It is necessary to push its end into a special hole and secure it with a knot, passing its tip into the loop several times. Thus, nylon strings are securely fixed on the stand and do not slip out. Then, without much effort, tension is made, you can proceed to the next stage of the process.
Now synthetic (nylon) string is neededlock and rewind. This operation is also uncomplicated. Synthetic string on the platen is fixed simply, if you give it a little tension when winding, holding it by hand. For each string in the spigot mechanism provides its own specific roller. If you follow this order, the ends will not be uncomfortable during the guitar setup. Comfort in learning and playing a musical instrument is important. That's basically it.
Now let's talk about how to stretch stringsmetal (for electric guitars). We should take note of the fact that metal strings differ from synthetic strings. They are stiffer, and in the stand are fixed with the help of special balls available at the ends. That is, you do not have to make a loop and tie knots to fasten a metal string. The process is carried out in the following sequence:
- First of all, as in the previously consideredIn this case, the metal strings must be fixed in the stand. You just need to pass the tip of each of them into the corresponding hole on the bridge and pull until they fix by a special ball. Pulling is done with sufficient force. You should make sure that the ball sits tightly in the hole of the bridge or stand.
- After fixing on the bridge / standThe metal guitar string is brought to the head of the neck and is passed through the hole of the corresponding chord. For the purpose of the subsequent winding, the string needs to be weakened somewhat.
- In the opposite direction to the rotation, a bend is made on the ring.
- By rotating the corresponding handleis winding on the peg. In this case, you need to tighten the strings a little with your free hand. This is done to ensure that the winding is more dense and to avoid slipping.
- The string is placed in a specially designed slot in the door for it, its tension is continued by turning the handle of the pin.
- After properly performed tension, you can bite off all the extra forceps.
How to stretch strings after completionthe processes described above? It remains to make the right adjustment of your musical instrument. While the strings are new, especially synthetic, they will be upset for a while, and the guitar will have to be adjusted periodically. Subsequently everything is normalized.
