Francisco. Your question is one of the good ones. very basic but also very important, because facts are that very few know how to use pegs. What you describe is right but only on a poorly fitted peg. One which is or totally stuck or totally loose. They are horrible. A good fitted peg with the right amount of lubricant. The in - out can be almost eliminated. Its hardly nescessary to do other things than turn. Ok, this sounds like unreal and it often is. Reality is that after not having played the guitar for a while, the pegs stick. So daily routine is to take them slightly out before playing, turning a bit back and forth and tuning. When you´ve done that, most of your playing session, you should be able to just turn. Read I said most of your playing session..... nothing is perfect. Not even the ost wonderfully fitted peg. Its important that the pegs are thin. Then the gearing is lower when turning and there´s less tendency to sticking. I like pegs a lot. I like the feel of the guitar. And yes, there is a difference.
