Question: Guitar sounds buzzy on the first fret!?
Only on string 4,5, and 6 and it is an electric guitar!. If I use my thumb to press the string down it will sound clear but I have to press down really hard!. Is there a way to fix that or is it just my guitar!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You need to adjust the action (height of strings) on your guitar!. If you don't know how to do this, take it to a guitar tech and they can do it for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You get fret buzz from bad fingering technique!.!.!. it's not the fault of the guitar!.!.!. it's ALWAYS the fault of the guitar PLAYER!. I'll just bet you learned how to play guitar for free off the internet!.
