I'm a guitar noob, why is that? I have steel strings, I know that they need to be tuned more often than nylon, but my G-string is doing it more often.

I always stretched my strings by bending opposite ways up and down the fretboard when I put them on the first time. Always seemed to help.

Otherwise not a ton to stop it I don't think. Locking tuners helped a little but not a ton.

I sounds like you tuning knob might need some love.
When did you buy the strings? Also, Nylon or Classical strings are great, don't discount them.

Also, obligatory BWV 1068 referance.

Maybe like less than half a spin on the knob.

I don't even know how to change strings, well I know but I never done it.

Ya, try getting a new set of stings before you go messing with the tuning knobs.

And the middle movement of BWV 1068 contains what people call the Air on the G string, which is not something Back called it. Lovely little piece though as is everything from him.

That's strange. IT always seems like my D, B, and upper E strings are always going out of tune more than anything. Weirdly enough, that doesn't seem to be the case on a Bass VI.

Doesn't sound too bad, but you might need to just get new strings and see if it isn't a problem in the tuning peg. How old are the strings that are on now?

I find it hard to believe your G would be going flat and not the B or E strings.

You did this as a joke

TC is a cool guy and I do not have a problem with him.
Having said that, don't tempt him. >_>

He does really have a guitar so it could be true, but of course he made the obvious joke. Anybody would. I've always had more trouble with my G strings than my Bs and Es. I'm sure it's really just my crappy stringing though.
