Get started today and learn how to play the bass guitar.

As you are playing a ripping guitar solo, you bend the strings a little too far and suddenly the dreaded clanking sound emerges…  The guitar is now completely out of tune and a broken guitar string is hanging there like a branch on a weeping willow tree…  Sound familiar?

You look around in your guitar case for a replacement string, but you are out…  The last thing you want to do right now is drive a half hour away to the closest music store to buy new strings…  Well, there could potentially be some good news in this situation.  This method only works if left some slack on the strings to begin with and did not clip them.  Here are the steps to get that broken string sounding new again:

• Carefully unwind the broken string and remove it from the guitar
• Find the end hole piece and use pliers to bend it back and fourth so you can successfully remove it from the string
• Now you should have the broken string and the end hole piece
• Thread a little of the broken string through end hole piece and carefully tie a knot with it.
• Use the pliers to tighten it and clip off the excess areas if there is too much left over
• Now just restring the fixed string and you are done

There you have it – a poor man’s guide to fixing a guitar string.  It won’t work in a all cases and it really depends where the break is on the string.  I’ve had a lot of success with this method and it saves you the trip to the store if you don’t have extra guitar strings laying around…  For further information on how to string a guitar, click here.
