Buzzing problems
Yesterdeay I replaced strings on my acoustic guitar but now I'm having problem with buzzing sound. E,A and D string ar buzzing from 1-6 eventually 7th fret. But they are not buzzing if I don't hold them. Just when I hold them on frets.So what should I do? I have a truss rod but I have never used it before.

Strings need a while to settle on the guitar. On guitars with relatively low action, that means they buzz. If your guitar spent too much time (depends on the guitar) with no strings, the neck might have relaxed and it is being pulled to the ussual tension. However, your neck may be distorted, frets worn or out of place, truss rod too loose or too tight. :eek:
If you have no experience with these, have your guitar checked by someone else, who can explain what's the problem and how to solve it should it occur again.

Guitar is 6 months old (basicly new) and I have replaced strings and cleaned guitar in a half hour so the neck couldn't possibly be pulled to the ussual tension.

If the new strings are a different gauge, the truss rod may need a little adjutment. If they are the same gauge, either stretch the strings or play it for a week to let the strings stretch.

With different gauge strings intonation will need re-adjustment. This might be too much of a head-ache for an acoustic guitar. Either let a good guitar tech do it for you -- or -- better -- go back to the same gauge strings that you used to have before.
Also, I suppose, different strings (like all gear in general) are made for different purposes. About a couple months ago I put nice Martin strings on my inexpensive Yamaha acoustic. I had to strum real hard with those Martin strings to sound really nice -- but the guitar started making little buzzes here and there (mostly in the bridge area), so eventually I decided to go back to Yamaha brand strings.
Bottom line is I suggest that you make sure that you really want those new strings on your guitar, then take it to a tech, or go back to the gauge strings you had originally on your guitar.
Happy strumming!

I've got .12 strings on my guitar and one package of new .12 strings which I put on. I will wait a while(and play ofcourse) as you said and then report what's the situation.
