Does anyone know how to make the high E string on an electric guitar stop ringing?

Question

I have tuned it so that isn't the problem. It makes a sort of high pitched yeeyeeyee sound. I put new strings on myself, so i dont know if that can cause that because I have never had this problem before. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

I have had the same problem several times. Some time you can tighten it to stretch it a little and sometime you will have to change the string. I am sure you have checked to be sure it isn't against a fret.

Answer 2

sounds fretted .. check to be sure your strings aren't touching the frets
