I was just watching your recent hilarious news episode and then found your string tutorial.
This is not so funny but highly useful for new guitar players

I would’ve liked this except that one of the most important steps was skipped over. It didn’t show how he wrapped the string around the tuning peg and how much, or little slack he used. I liked the info on string selection, but the visual tutorial was useless.
