You will forever be messing with the G string. It is the most troublesome of the bunch. If you are playing a new set of strings, it should get better after it stretches a bit.
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

I had a funny joke about g-strings but I decided not to say it. I had a problem like that once but that was on my old crap guitar. I dont know if there is anything you can do to fix that or not. And like Buda said, once the strings stretch it will be better.
The greatest enemy to what you can know, is what you already know.
It's not how good you play, its how well you play it.

wow, the guy set himself up for some jokes on this thread :p
Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememb'rin' what she said

thought this sounded kinky :P
try this. detune the string so its a bit floppy. get a pencil and rub the underside of the string with the graphite. this'll lubricate it.
tune the string back up, then pull gently from underneath. it'll go out of tune. tune it up again. pull it again. keep going till it's not really going out. smile cos it sounds cool :D

Maybe if you put your g string on right your nuts won't move so much. :D
