Hi,
As some of you may know that I do more of the engineering things, but I occasionally play guitar too, just to keep myself entertained and write down ideas, not to entertain others (I leave it to those who are interested in that kind of shit and just sell my licks to them
).
I was just thinking does anyone have any idea what is causing this, its really driving me nuts. The problem: Everytime I play for a while, my guitars do stay otherwise in tune, except the G-string. I don't really have to play for more than 5 minutes and the G-string goes out of tune, but the others stay pretty much in tune.
I play only rhythm guitar stuff (so mainly barre- and powerchords), and I usually play in standard tuning or drop D. I currently use 10-46 gauge set, but I've tried with heavier sets, but I didn't quite like any of them and I think heaviest was 13-56 and it they didn't seem to take the problem away.
This happens with new and old strings and I've experienced this problem with all of my own guitars and atleast 7 or 8 other guitars... I've tried cheap and expensive guitars with tuneomatics, floyd roses and whatnot, even tried with a 2000€ ESP Eclipse in a guitarstore, but the same thing happened. All the strings except the G were in tune after 5 minutes of playing.
What is wrong with my technique, or am I not alone with my problem?
