Which Way Do You Wind Guitar Strings?
Give the String a Sharp Bend Upward and Keep It That Place While You Turn the Tuner in Clockwise Direction. Tune the String to the Right Pitch with a Guitar...

Beside this, does it matter which way you wind guitar strings?
Yes it does matter. Low E through D are tuned so that turning the peg clockwise, looking at the button from the side, (toward the body of the guitar) increases the pitch.
Furthermore, how many times should I wind my guitar strings? Anywhere between 2-4 windings will be plenty and, so long as you are restringing your guitar in a conventional way, this should ensure that you have enough tension in your string to maintain your tuning and avoid any string slippage.
One may also ask, which way do you tighten acoustic guitar strings?
Put the cut-end of the string into the hole in the top of the tuning peg, bend at a 90-degree angle, and turn the tuner counter-clockwise to tighten, as in Figure 17. Once the string is up to pitch, tug gently on it five times and re-tune.
How tight should my guitar strings be?
Your guitar's pitch should be around the middle portion of the piano. Set your tuner to "EADGBE" mode (the most common guitar tuning). If your tuner tells you to loosen your strings more than a few turns of your tuner knobs, your strings are too tight.
