The problem comes from when I play a chord especially an open chord near the nut...or playing notes, it sounds out of tune just a tad. Is that just a matter of getting used to lighter finger pressure or is there something I am missing?
How are you tuning the electric guitar? Are you using a tuner or just doing it by ear? It could be that the guitar is actually out of tune. Let's get that off the table first.
