Would like to say Hello to all I am new here form Orlando FL, I use to play guitar back in the late 80's early 90's, I was wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction as I dont know if this is the right section to post this in.

This is my problem just got back into playing again, but I cant figure out this problem, I just bought a new Ibanez with 24 medium type frets when I play a G chord even if the guitar is in perfect tune when I hit that top note which would be (middle finger top E string 3rd fret) it always sounds out of tune, I noticed if I pushed harder down on the string the sound or tune of the string goes higher and back down as I let it go.

I am stoked by this are my frets to high ? :confused: , am I not playing the note as it should be played? :confused: , the action on this guitar is really great considering it is brand new I am using Dunlop/Wylde medium 10's but it doesnt matter this has happened to me before and I dont know how to fix /correct the problem, and it is so frustrating please help :(
if anyone could help me or guide me in the right direction I would so greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for any comments and i'm glad to be playing again and a new member of Guitar Tricks as I have seen some amazing videos so far God Bless.
Louie :(

Hi Louie,

Welcome to Guitar Tricks!

It sounds like you need to get your guitar "intonated" at your local repair shop. This will make sure that the notes high on your neck ring to their correct note.

Feel free to leave a comment in our Guitar Tech forum, Steve is a very helpful resource. I'll copy this post to his forum.

Rock on! :cool:
