Question Hello,
I recently bought restrung my guitar. I'm very beginner but I think I did a fair job with this. My problem is my high E, B, and G strings won't tune properly. I have an electronic tuner and a CD. I cannot get the guitar to match the CD sound. And when the electronic tuner says the note is correct the string is really loose and kind of buzzes. I can tell that's not right. I tried just going with the loose string on the high E and started to play F and G and according to the tuner these were way off. The D, A, and low E are perfect. It's just the three other strings that are giving me problems. Do you think it may have to do with my restringing? I would love if you could help me out. And if there is any part of this you didn't understand please reply and tell me to clarify. Thank you.
Answer Hi Ivuoma!
It seems like maybe you may not have the other notes in the right octave. The tuner says the note is correct because technically it is, though not the right E. What happens when you tune your guitar to the CD pitches? If there is buzzing, have you thought about adjusting your action if it's an electric guitar?
