Posted June 12, 2008

How much slack do you put on each guitar string?
Im changing guitar strings, and saw lots of lessons. They always say make sure you put enough slack on each string but they never tell you how much. This one guy for the b string gave about 3 inches of slack. He said it was gonna change depending on string. never explained though. Can anyone help please?
There is no definite set rule, only experienced suggestions.
