Hi there,

My First String (The E string) {Thinner one}, broke D:
I bought a set of New strings.

In the strings bag cover it says:

White Nylon
Silver-Plated Copper Wound
Normal Tension

I don't know what my old strings are since those are the ones that were in the guiatr when i bough it.

My question is:
Will the guitar sound will change if I put the new string with the old ones?
Should I change all the strings at once?






One more question.
How I change make the little knot at the end of the string? The knot that goes in the bridge.

welcome to the forum. sounds as if you purchased classical or nylon strings. do they have ball ends on them? some do some don't i have tried both the ball end ones are easier but purist will scream.
hopefully you are playing a classical guitar because if not you purchased the wrong strings for an acoustic(steel strings only) you want 4 wound strings and two steel strings. for electric guitar you want three wound and 3 straight steel stings. note these last two rules vary some use different configurations four both acoustic and electrics but that is a good general rule.
to answer your question strings always change the sound of your guitar as they are new and more vibrant.
note you do not want to put steel strings on your classical guitar as this will destroy fret eventually. and the string tension is all wrong for the neck as well. it can be done but not a good idea. and yes i would change all strings  at once. do it one at a time though to keep tension on neck

Well it's and acoustic Guitar.
I guess it's classic.

Btw they say "Classical Nylon
                     Guitar Strings"

The strings don't have ball ends.

Steel strings are good for classical acoustic guitars? Or i misundesrtand that part?

Mmmm. I dont know, 3 strings ( E, B, G) look like nylon (they are kinda transparent.
The Thicker ones (D, A, E) look some kind of metalic.


I'm really kinda new to guitars. I know how to play, but i don't know a lot about guitars.


Thank You, I'm new to the forum Lol.

I was planning to change all the old strings and keep them for future "Broken Strings Problems".
I like the white ones  (New ones) they look niceeee *-*

Sades,

Were the original strings tied at the bridge.  If so, you have a "classical" guitar, and therefore have the right strings.  If not, you more than likely have a steel string acoustic, and hence the wrong strings. Either way when replacing strings its best to replace the whole set unless the strings on the git are new, and ya need to change one in a pinch, IE a break during a performance when ya dont have time to change all 6..
Heres a good vid on how to string a classical.

ok im putting the strings but after some time it lowers its tune. what i do

Providing we are talking about a classical guitar,    the strings need time to stretch... Tune it up, and bend the strings (or pull them away from the neck one at a time, but dont over stretch them.  After they settle in they will stay in tune


Jim

...if by "lowers in tune" he means the new string goes out of tune...that's normal with newly installed nylon strings, they take quite awhile to "settle" into pitch because they "stretch" quite a bit.

Sades, What kind of strings were on the guitar, Nylon or steel. If you had steel strings on the guitar then replace them with steel, same goes for nylon.You may want to take your guitar to a music store to be sure if you are unsure. . welcome to chordbook, drop into chat and meet the group.

If you don't know whether you should use nylon or steel strings, and you can't figure it out by surfing the net guitar sites, put your ego to bed and take the guitar to a music store and ask: 'Hey mister, what kind of strings go on this geetar?' Don't be shy. You are an Ultra-Novice and you need help. Once you have determined what kind of guitar you have, and have it strung with the right strings, use this site for help.

Good Luck and Study Hard,

well if you cant tell which is a classical guitar and which a regular steel string acoustic then i dont
think that changing your strings it the most immediate issue. if this is going to be your life
own it find out everything you can whether you play an ovation or a off brand hammer classical like
i do. that way people wont be tempted to give you bad advice cause it will sound like you know
what you are talking about.
i learned the hard way with cars if people find out you dont know how it works
they will mess with you
