It is kind of up to you. I don’t feel like my ear is trained enough to tell when strings “need a change.” I usually do it a few times a year, but now that I’m making an effort to play more, I might change them every month or two. I enjoy the process. Plus, I enjoy trying new strings just to try and help train my ear and fingers about how different strings sound and feel. I went to the guitar store today and since the guitars there get played a lot, I realized how rusty the strings feel and how much harder they are to play. I had an “a-ha” moment and knew I would never let my strings feel like that.

BTW, everyone will have a suggestion on which method they like to change strings, but I truly love watching Rob Magargal from Taylor Guitars explain how he changes strings. He has three videos on YouTube that have been posted throughout the years. He explains it so well and that is how I learned to try for myself.

Cheers!
