I'm not sure what the setup of your guitar is or for that matter, what make and model of guitar you have. If you give me the following info, I'll do my best to help you. I need all the info you have but lets start with the list below. Guitar: Brand and model Strings: Brand and gauge My email address is cjr17p@ptd.net

First of all, new strings will usually go out of tune until after several hours of playing when they "settle in" to pitch. I help my new strings stretch into pitch by giving them a gentle tugging pull and then retuning. Don't pull the small strings too hard or they might snap. Also, this might have to do with the way the string is wound on the tuning key post. If you are not sure how to properly thread new strings on to the tuners, have someone at your favorite music store show you. There is a way to get the string to lock on to itself so it doesn't slip. Also, many beginners tend to wrap too much string around the post, so eventually over time, this slack string gets taken up tighter and changes the pitch of the string. Two or three wraps around is all that is needed. If none of this helps, the string might be catching on the nut at the head of the fingerboard. Your music store guitar tech should be able to file it smooth or change to a different nut that is less likely to catch. This usually involves the wound strings, and yur G string is probably plain unless you are playing an acoustic guitar. If so, this might be the case.
