I have heard that some people when they restring a guitar, they will wrap the strings 2-3 times around the post before putting the string through the eyelet and proceeding to tighten the string and tune the string. *Note: they did stress the fact that you should make sure the string wraps below the eyelet and the coils do not touch the string coming out of the eyelet as that may mute the string a little.

I had never tuned my guitar this way, but I did always have a little trouble being able to tell how much slack I should leave before tightening the string down. And I usually have to retune my guitar ever week or so but I figured that was just caused by playing the guitar.

Any advice out there?
