string problems

[bndevils21]

Sometimes when i change my strings, my strings naturally fall out of tune. when i retune them, they all are fine except my high E. it keeps falling out over and over, and the constant retuning made it pop. it has happened like twice. any suggestions as to why? also if i want to replace it, i usually use martin lights, and i only have a pack of mediums lying around. should i wait to get a pack of lights, replace em all, or is it ok to use a higher gauge high E with the other 5 strings being lights?

thanks

I'd wait if I were you.

when you're changing them...i recommend trying to stretch them out as soon as you get them on to help to avoid that falling out of tune for the first few days because the strings will stretch eventually anyway...and you can put the new string on now if you want to keep playing, but definitely get a pack and put the entire set on when you can

that happened to me before also...i found that if i held down the peg while tuning it to e it would be okay otherwise it would slip out. After a few days it will be fine.
