if ur new at it u should go 2 a music store and have them do it
if u want 2 do one string u kinda gotta do em all

but u just pull the end tabs (on the body) out and u no wut else
then take a thin part of the new string and warp it around the coils but i recomend that u hav sum1 else do it 4 uWww@QuestionHome@Com

they make these things called string winders, which have a little groove to pull out the peg(where the string attaches at the bridge, at the bottom)!. Usually i use a nickel!. you just pull out the peg, pull out the string!. youll see how the string goes in the peg when you pull it out!. then you take the string, pull it up to the tuner and put it through the hole!. pull it so its kinda sloppy, but not too sloppy, and wind the tuner!. then cut it off!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your string broke because YOU didn't BUY a tuner!.!.!. it was NOT THE STRING'S FAULT!.!. it was YOUR fault!. NOW!.!.!. take the guitar to a local music store and have them put a new string on it and BUY a TUNER!.!.!. or you are going to keep breaking strings or maybe destroy your guitar!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
