When i play my guitar, one of the strings vibrates a lot more then the others and plays very badly....?

Question

anyone know how i can fix this or whats causing it?

Answer 1

Your string is vibrating on one of the frets. If its an open note the nut will have to raised. You'll probably have to take it to a guitar shop to have that fixed, but its inexpensive.

If its an electric- raising the bridge may help( if your guitar allows you to do that). There is also a faceplate on your headstock that covers a bolt that run inside the neck. It adjusts the curvature(flatness of your neck and fretboard, its right where the strings fan out to the tuners(you will need an Allen wrench for that).

If its a cheap junk guitar just find a tiny thin piece of cardboard(or plastic) that you can place in between the string and where the indent is on the nut, where the string lays in. This will raise that string enough off the fret board so it doesn't give you that buzz.

Hope this helps. Rock on!

Answer 2

you gotta tune it up its probably wayy too loose,

or you might need to get a new string set

Answer 3

Well try just tightening that one string by twisting the s***w at the top of your guitar. I never knew which s***w pertained to which string, so I just put my finger on the string in question and followed it to the s***w it connects to.
