How to i change the strings on my electric guitar?

ive always played acoustic but i decided to get an electric its a B.C. Rich Warlock and it has a Tune O Matic bridge

Step 1Lay the guitar on a flat, secure surface.

Step 2Loosen the tension on each string a little at a time by turning the six tuning pegs at the top of the guitar in a counterclockwise direction.

Step 3Once the strings are all slack, continue to turn each tuning peg until the top of each guitar string is freed of its respective tuning peg.

Step 4Once the strings are free of their tuning pegs, locate the bridge of the guitar. The bridge is the metal object toward of bottom of the guitar where the strings lead.

Step 5Locate the two small Phillips head screws at the bottom of the bridge.

Step 6Carefully unscrew these two screws by turning them in a counterclockwise direction. This will free the bridge piece from the guitar.

Step 7Turn the bridge upside down.

Step 8Locate the six metal balls under the bridge. These balls are the other ends of the guitar strings.

Step 9Pull each ball out of the bridge to remove the strings.

Step 10Insert each new string into the slots under the bridge where the old strings were removed.

Step 11Once all of the new strings are through the bridge, turn the bridge over again and attach it to the body of the guitar by turning the two screws that were loosened in Step 6.

Step 12Feed the end of each string into its respective tuning peg.

Step 13Turn each tuning peg in a clockwise direction to tighten the strings on the guitar.

Step 14When each string is tight, use wire cutters to clip off the remaining portions of each string.
