Ok. Four strings are on.
I've saved the last two to show you because there is a little bit of a difference here in how we tie them off.
Once again I am going through the tunnel, underneath the previous string
and I'm ready to begin tying a knot but I'm going to go ahead and start the last string at the same time.
What we want to end up with is both of these strings tucked under each other.
The way I get that done is this.
You start with the second string, the slightly larger one, get it's knot ready to go and the same tail down on the end that you want to tuck underneath
the first string and you begin to tighten it up but you cannot take all the slack out yet because it's not quite ready.
Get it close.
Ideally tight enough to where it will sit there without us having to hang on to it very much.
Sometimes this goes well and sometimes it can be a little tricky so let's see what we can do here.
Now tie the same knot in the first string and don't forget we want to grab the second string in the first strings knot.
The difference is going to be when I tie this knot I am going to go around the string the opposite direction
because I want it's tail pointing up toward the second string.
Now comes the surgery.
I'm going to thread this one back up through the same hole and the knot of the previous string that we've been hitting everywhere else.
One fundamental difference here is that the second string in it's knot is it's actually holding on to the tail of both the third and the first string.
It's a little tricky to get that all laid in there.
Remember again, get over the sharp point of the saddle before you pull the slack out and pull it tight.
It's easiest to just work them together like this.
Pull them a little bit snug and there we have it.
You can see the close up here and see every string is tucked under a neighbor including the string on the end that came back up
underneath number two.
Number two is holding two strings.
The procedure for tying off up at the top is the same but since you are doing two at a time make sure you do not twist them
because that will make your guitar sound like a snare drum.
I'll go ahead and tie these off and be back for some final comments.
