rattley sounding string (acoustic guitar, steel strung)


Question Posted Monday June 4 2007, 4:54 am

ok, so i tuned my guitar a whole step down (its an acoustic guitar [steel strings]) and when ever i hit the b string (the 5th string) on the third fret it makes this horrible twang sound while playing a distorted sounding tone... long story short i hate it, and i would gratfeull for some good advice to get rid of this sound >>while in this tuning<< i dont want any one to say tune it back up and play it 2 frets down :p because i cant do that with this certain song.
i tryed pressing on it harder but i only hurts and makes the sound get a liiittle better but not much. so please help if ya can ^_^

first...make sure you dont have to change your strings because they rust and tend to make different noises....

to check your strings...place your finger between the fret and the string and move the bottom of your index finger up and down the string and if it doesnt feel smooth then you probly need to change the string...

and when ur tuning, make sure that whatever step down or up your going, that the string is taught and not loose or else it will distort the sound
