I'll third the stretching advice. That is almost certainly your problem. What I do is string all 6, then before locking down, give em all several big bends. Bend, re-tune, bend, retune, repeat until they hold their tune, and then (and only then) lock it down. Mine keeps its tune very well...

The Live 8 Guitar by Valley Arts:

Review I've now had a chance to view the DVD. On pure entertainment value, I'd give it a 9 / 10, but as a tutorial it's maybe a 7 /10. He doesn't really get into theory as much as I'd hoped. It's basically, "Here's a lick from our 4th album. . . . Now I'll play it slowly." It comes with a...
