Introducing Myself

Hello guys. I’m Darshan from Ooty, India ; I’m 23 and I have an amateur-intermediate level of understanding of the keyboard (although I haven’t done grades). My journey with the guitar began about a year ago, I have basic understanding of a few chords (learnt them from shapes).
I have always wanted to delve deep into music theory and this is my attempt at it.

I have a Yamaha F280 but the strings are old, I wanted a few tips about changing strings on our own. I hope this journey will be super fun and interesting.

Cheers

Welcome aboard, Darshan! :smiley:

Good luck with the string change. You’ll see, after second or third time, this will become as normal as brushing teeth. :slight_smile: Wish you loads of fun on your journey!

Hi Darshan, welcome to the community. I was too nervous to change my acoustic strings for over a year, but Justin’s video made the process some much easier. That tip about kinking or bending the end of the string that goes into the pin holes was very helpful.
