@@natiivejay07 thank you! I’ve been kinda lazy lately, but I’ll try to get some more stuff up soon. I did some ukulele tunes last week!

@MarkNokesGuitar i seen that man! You should definitely post some ukulele how to videos you're a gifted musician

@ aww, thank you!!!

@@natiivejay07 the trick for getting solid natural harmonics is to place your finger directly above the fret, very lightly touch, and lift immediately after plucking. In this case I’m playing above frets 7, 9 and 12.

It’s not always broken 😆

Glad I could help!

Derp

Awesome!!!

It could be a few other things. Take a look through the comments. I’ve addressed a few of them! Maybe it’ll help!

@@MarkNokesGuitar ok! I think it has to do with notch the string sits in. I’d have to sand it down in order to fix it so I’d need a skilled guitarists help such as my dad. Thank you so much though!

Gotcha. That’s certainly one I didn’t address! Depending on how bad it is, a nut replacement is usually pretty inexpensive. Let me know how it turns out!

@@MarkNokesGuitar ok!

Woohoo! Glad to help :)

Thanks! I cut out the most egregious mistakes, but I don’t practice anymore so I really appreciate hearing that it’s not terrible 😁

😆

Brilliant!

Is it buzzing at the fret where the capo is placed?

@@MarkNokesGuitar yes

Try moving the capo directly behind the fret…like, really close without touching.

@@MarkNokesGuitar I just tried that out and my d string still buzzes

It sounds crazy, but sometimes simply changing the strings can help. If that doesn’t work, you may need a neck adjustment, fret leveling…or both depending on the condition/age of the instrument.

You may need a setup. Neck adjustment and/or bridge saddle and nut.

I’ll be honest with you, I have no idea, and it’s never come up in a lesson! All I can say that I used to be really wide because I was 100 lbs overweight, and I couldn’t see the fingerboard at all. I practiced in front of a mirror :) Give it a try and let me know if it helps!!!

Will do, thank you for the suggestion!

I’m pretty sure the odds are arbitrarily set by them and don’t have anything to do with the number of people. Just my guess, though!

I was being facetious :)

@@MarkNokesGuitar I know. I'm irritated with PCH also. I keep playing knowing I'll never win.

You're welcome!

Awesome! I’m so happy it helped!

Classic. It’s no big deal if you know what to look for, but it can be a real headache otherwise!

You’re welcome!

I don’t remember whining

Sorry, I used 'whining' as a collective word. @@MarkNokesGuitar I didn't mean anyone in specific. I see a LOT of the commenters saying that it's a waste of time, virtually impossible to win, etc. Yet these same people will spend that same amount of time watching this and other videos on TikTok and RUclips (I got this via RUclips). Really annoying. Now there's some people who weren't complaining, but commenting in a different way. For them, my collective word doesn't apply. If you weren't whining, then it doesn't apply to you. (I don't remember if you were or not. I'd have to watch the video again, and I'm not that interested in it.)

@@jgunn03 Well, I wasn't that interested in you either, but here you were, leaving dumb comments on my video. I find that really annoying too :)

If you're going to put yourself out there, expect criticism. @@MarkNokesGuitar Geez dude, don't get ruffled when you put yourself in the public sphere. If you can't handle one little negative comment, you definitely couldn't handle being a woman who makes content. The misogynistic rape comments will flood the DMs and comment sections. Seriously dude. If you can't handle the heat, GTFiggypudding out of the kitchen.

Did you erase my comment. I'll type it again: @@MarkNokesGuitar If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. You need to be able to stand the criticism if you're going to be a content creator. Just be glad you're not a woman. I get death threat, r@pe threats, and a lot of accusations of vocal grind . . . and a ton of misogynistic comments about my looks. Oh, and promises of doxing me. Yeah, incels.

You’re welcome! Glad it helps!

Sorry to hear it! Have you read through the comments. Lot of good advice down there 😁

Didn’t want to make the first comment super long but some other causes for buzzing can be high frets, witch you can file down yourself but probably would be better off having it done at a workshop/ music shop, or maybe your string gauge is too high or low witch can also bow the guitars neck but a truss rod adjustment should compensate for a string tension change Could also be your guitars action (the space between the string and the fretboard) witch depending on the guitar can be easy or difficult, for example acoustic guitar action is a little harder to adjust, you would have to shave some material off of the nut/saddle On most electric you just need Alan wrenches to adjust saddle action but a guitar tech who knows what there doing can fix all of those issues and get it as close to perfect as it can get, if your serious about learning I’d say it’s great to know how to work on a guitar, especially if your starting to amass a decent collection (you can’t just stop at 1)😂

You’re right that there can be multiple reasons for fret buzz, and I think I’ve done a good job of explaining that in the comments. However, it’s absolutely not a temporary solution. It’s simply proper left hand technique.

@@MarkNokesGuitar I agree to disagree I believe having a playable instrument (that doesn’t buzz at all regardless of left hand technique) is much easier than having to force your self to place your fingers a certain way on the fretboard, maybe if you learned that way and adapted to it sure but for beginners it will only make fretting more difficult, for example when I teach people who are brand new to guitar pretty much everyone has trouble fretting notes and chords, playing right at the fret especially when playing chords at any common tempo is gonna make it hard as hell to land all your fingers in that specific spot for each fret especially for beginners, having a playable instrument with a good setup regardless of the price of the instrument will make it way easier to play, many people I’ve tried to teach give up because they can’t fret notes and get a clear sound. If you want to improve your guitar technique and really become a better player having an instrument that makes it harder for you to play will make that very difficult and may scare away new players

You’re not wrong, but you’re missing my point! My point is that what I’ve presented is a fact. You can disagree until you’re blue in the face, but finger placement matters and it’s a very common reason for fret buzz.

Awesome!

@@MarkNokesGuitar And my father won $100 from PCH slots!

I think I’ve addressed that in the comments. Have a look and let me know 😁

You’re welcome!

No doubt. I just wanted to see how a systematic approach where I limited my time would pan out. No winning for me, alas!
