haha...that happens to me too! haha...and when i asked my friends, they say i whack too hard on the G string...lol...
and that very same G string goes out of tune often too, but the problem is not so severe nowadays. I used to put only a few coils of string around the tuners, like one or two, for convenience's sake, but recently, i've been putting almost the whole length of the string onto my tuners. Well, less for the low E, A and D strings, but all the way for G to E.
It's something that i learnt from an interview by guitar world, for BB King, i think that it does help, keep the guitar in tune, and i have less problems when i downtune my guitars to C or B. I'm using .10s, and like what some of the others said, using graphite thingy...it does help a little.
Well, the quality of the strings do matter too, I'm currently using Dean Markeley's signature series, and sometimes, just for the fun of it, i'll use black diamond coated or DR coated. Yeah...still prefer my dean markeleys' to D'addario strings though.
