I've seen this problem on quite a few guitars.. cheap and expensive.. and now my a few of mine are doing it and I dont get why..

It's like the fret is to high or something.. that when depending on the pressure i put on the string the pitch of that note will start to bend.

But I havnt always noticed this so whats going on.

At first I thought the strings were to high but I lowered to the bridge and nothing changed really.

thanks 4 any help.

Whenever this happens, it means your guitar is broken. So instead of fixing it, it is just easier to get a new guitar.

Seriously, phrase your questions better if you can...

Now, as far as I can understand, you're trying to say that note go out of pitch when you put more pressure on the string when fretting it. If that's a correct interpretation, then your problem would be that you push too hard on the strings. You only need to make the string touch the frets, you don't need to push the strings down to the fretboard.

[Edit]

Oh, btw, if you're going to have your name and a link to your homepage at the end of each of your posts, put it your signature. And, tbh, I don't really see why you'd want that stuff in every post. Just put it in your profile.

My guitars is broken in a way, but I'm not going to by a new one. Thats ridiclous. Thanks for replying though.


Your correct G_urr_A, the more I push down on the string the pitch shifts.. Its the acting the same as a pitch bend, but I didn't become superman over night. My guitars didn't have this problem before. It's definitly fixable. When playling live, rockin out, and hittin chords, it's pretty tough to apply the same pressure to all my strings.

I realize that I am not king of guitars and that I dont know nearly as much as alot of people. Thats why I'm hear asking for assistence on guitars.. and not asking for advice on my forum posting tactics on www.forumnazigurra.com.

Any help or personal expierences with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You'll just have to learn to not push down as hard. There are people out there playing with fully scalloped fretboards, so you should be able to learn to control yourself well enough to handle it on a non-scalloped fretboard.

What you could do though, if you really don't want to learn to play lightly, would be to get very low frets (either refretting your guitars, or just wearing them down). That would make your problem less apparent.

And, if you don't mind me saying it, repeating your url at the end of one post seems rather (excuse my words) dumb. Unless, of course, you're going to put a bunch of them in one reply, and then keep your next 10 or 15 or so replies clean, and then put in a bunch again. Then, I'd actually say it's a good compromise.
