My guitar gets out of tune after 1 minute
My new guitar strings sound nice, but they get out of tune after 1 minute !!
Specifically, the 1st and 2nd (thinnest) strings get out of tune more than the other strings.
And there was no problem of tuning with the old strings .
i'm really mad of this situation -_-
Please Help !
guitar : Yamaha F310 (made in indonesia)
String gauge : Extra Light (made in Korea)

All new strings need a good stretch to allow them to bed in. The metal itself has to stretch a little, the windings round the post have to settle and the neck has to re-adjust to the tension change. Along each string, pull and push, but not like you'd pull a bow (and arrow). Lift up and push down a couple of inches away from each other - it's not easy to describe - and re-tune.Repeat several times. This will be the equivalent of a few days of leaving it.It's part of the whole game of being a guitarist!
EDIT: when changing the whole set, do them one at a time. That way, the neck will only have a small change in tension. Taking them all off and then replacing is not the better way.
