Question
Hi!

i have a problem with my guitar cables..when i insert in guitar there are some buzz sound..what i m gonna to do how remove these buzz sound?

Answer
Have you tried withi with another cable?  If the problem only happens wiht one cable, then it would indicate that there is a problem with the cable - possibly a bad/damaged connection in one of the plugs, or poor screening in the cable which is causing interference.

If the problem persists regardless of what cable you use, then I'd suggest that you get the repair guy at your local music store to take a look at your guitar, as there could be a problem somewhere in there.

Regards,
Dave

Experience

Since joining AllExperts I have been getting rated with 9's and 10's from most of the people I've answered questions from, so I guess that I must be doing something right. Not all that many people can be wrong. Questions about theory, technique, equipment, players, history, etc. welcome - just about anything in fact. The only things I prefer not to answer are requests for transcriptions, or equipment assessments/valuations.
