Question: Guitar strings/frets problem!?
I'm a beginner and just starting to learn to play and I've noticed that whenever I play single notes and transition into another notes, the strings make a sound!. I'll try to make it clearer, hehe!. Well, like when I hold down a string on a fret then lift my finger off the string, it makes a soft sound, almost like playing a note but softly!.

I don't know if this is my problem as a beginner or my guitar's problem but any help is welcome =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

after thinking about it for a minute i think i know what your problem is!.

is either that you are pressing down too hard on the string, enough to either get a harmonic from the string or you have indented the string and its buzzing a little!.

for either of these problems, the solutions is too relax your hand and not press down as hard!. its just all about cleaning up your technique!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Are you still in school!.!.!.!.if so ask your music teacher!.!.!.!.!.I'm not sure if this is a fret problem or a hammer on hammer off sound that your talking about!.!.!.!.!.if you don't have a music teacher then see if you can find someone who does play and demonstrate this to him/her and see if they can tell you what your problem is!.!.!.!.!.!.good luck !!!!!!!!!
Sometimes if frets come up they cause a funny sound, or it could be old strings or the way that your applying pressure!.!.!.!.I'd have to see and hear what your talking about before I could give you the correct answer, sorry !!!!!!!!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

what type of guitar is it!? if its electric the bridge could be to low and rattling against frets!. other than that it should make a sound if u take ur finger off, your taking it off to softly if its a classical or acoustic!. Or your pulling off the string with the finger you use to hit the fret!. if thats the case try not to drag ur finger offWww@QuestionHome@Com

That my friend is called a pull off if i'm understanding right!? When you press the fret down and pull off it is referred to as a pull off!. in conjunction with hammer on pull offs can sound sweet!. is this what you are looking for!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you do not want that !.!. rest the right side of your picking hand on the string to "palm mute" the noise!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
