Question:
Hello, I have a problem with my High E string. When I pick
the string up
high, the
lower part of it picks up the vibration and it ruins the
sound.
Answer:
You may want to try relaxing the truss rod a little. The neck
may not have enough bow in it causing the string
behind where you are fretting to touch the tops of the lower frets.
I have personally run into this problem using a capo. I would
capo high like maybe the 6th or 7th fret and
strum. Some of the
strings below the capo would vibrate against the tops of the frets
making a weird noise.
As a temporary fix, I have stuck a
flat pick between the offending strings below the capo to stop the
vibrations.
That way I didn't have to change the truss rod adjustment.

measuring things.

other causes of string noise.
