Question hi, only just started playing and my low e string buzzes when i play it. its an acoustic and i don't know whether i have tightened it too much or too little
thanks
Answer Hello Conornic. It depends on where the string or how the string is buzzing for us to tackle this properly. I need to know if it buzzes when played open on the string or if it is only on certain frets, than I can give you a better answer. Each circumstance has a different approach to dealing with it. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
