I am sure there are people here that could help you with this but I always take my guitar to someone when I have problems. I hope this helps.

Hi Dan,
Thanks you for your reply, I might just do that and take it in, I can tell you that I am not bending the string but I do notice that when I am playing the G chord I look at the frets and they seem high up, even though they are medium frets, so just pressing down on the string so it will touch the fretboard changes the tune like almost a half step up but not quite all the way and as I slowly let up it will go back to the regular tune, i dont know if you understand what I mean.

its like taking a string and putting it across 2 pieces of wood spread apart then pushing down on the string causes the string to sound higher in tone then letting off of course it goes back to its nomal tone same problem i have playing this G and others too like the A note on the E String right next to the nut as well.

I am also thinking maybe I am not pressing the string hard enough? or maybe I should have my frets filed down ? I mean isnt the proper way to play is for any string that I play to be touching the fret board hard ?
:confused: thanks for any help
