Tune by harmonics to hear, and feel, the beating effect better.
Lubricate all string contact points with pencil lead, to prevent snags. Store your guitar in a room with a constant temperature. If the temperature varies widely, it will go out of tune, which is a symptom of wood expansion & shrink -- a guitar killer if given time to work. |

Using the pencil lead is a good idea, to keep the string from slipping. Such a good time to use this trick: When the string is slipping and loosing it's tuning. |
That's funny .. I've heard of the pencil graphite trick, but the way I heard, it was also supposed to help lubricate the string so that it would slide through the groove on the bottom nut (or whatever you english speakers call it) better.

Sometimes it will, Tore. But we're talking about once the string is already in the ring nut. It does make it smooth going through the ring nut on the bottom, but it keeps the strings from slipping on the peg. Which if you're having issues with your tuning slipping, the pencil lead on the peg helps.
