Weird Guitar problem
Hi, I just wanted to know what is wrong with my Guitar. Every time I try to play either the 11th fret or 14th fret on the high E string they sound the same as the fret above them. For example, the 14th fret sounds just like the 15th fret and I'm not sure how to fix it. Please, give me some tips on what to do. I'm a beginner in Guitar.
Thank you.
Thank you.

it's probably Bridge adjustment
You may have to raise the bridge
What sort of guitar is it

On a Stratocater type bridge, there is individual string height adjustment. by turning little allen keys
On les paul type bridges you can adjust each side of the bridge ( like a see saw effect )

If all the other notes play correctly on that string, my guess is you have a fret problem. I think you have a high spot.

Yep, so let us know if it is JUST the 14/15th frets, or others. Specifically the ones above the 15th.

It could be a problem with the bridge or the neck. It's hard to say without actually seeing the guitar.
Given that, I would suggest taking it to a guitar shop and getting it fixed. Unless you really aspire to be able to repair guitars, and with that I mean having one (or a couple) around you can afford to mess with; I would put it in the hands of a professional to repair for you.
Guitar Center, or a local music shop should be able to adjust it for you. Good luck. :cool:
