Rotate the tuner of the string you want to replace in a clockwise direction until it's loose.
You can either do it by hand (First Picture) or you can use the guitar string winder (Second picture).

Step 2

Grab a plier and pull out the bridge pin of the string you want to replace.
Make sure that you've completed step 1 first. The string has to be loose before doing this step.

Step 3

Take out the string from the bridge and the tuning pin.
You can now throw away the string. You will not be needing it anymore.

Step 4

Grab the new string and place the end (ball-end) inside the bridge.
The ball-end of a string is the side of the string that has a ball shape. (Shown in picture 2)

Edit

Step 5

Place the bridge pin inside the bridge in order to lock in the new string.
Lightly hammer down the bridge pin to keep it from detaching.

Edit

Step 6

Cut the excess string with a plier.
Cut the string around 1.5 inches over the desired tuning pin. (Recommended by Taylor Guitars)

Edit

Step 7

Place the new string inside the tuning pinhole.
It is recommended to place a really small portion of the string inside the pinhole to keep it from ripping your guitar bag. (As shown in the picture)

Edit

Step 8

Make sure your string is in tune and strum away!

Conclusion

Most guitar strings de-tune after they’ve been recently replaced. Tune your strings every once in a while for a few days and the strings will stay in tune.
