As you pull off one string, replace it immediately with another, so you don't get confused. The 1st string is the high E or thin string at the bottom. Go in order 1,2,3,4,5,6. When winding the string make sure on the high strings you go under on the first turn so the rest of the string clamps down. If you do enough turns however, this may not be necessary. Just make sure the string is tight.
