Topic: Re: Guitar Tunes going bad

Hi there

I am a begginer, who wanted to learn how to play some basic tunes, so I bought this used guitar last summer. After using it for a bit, i cant go past fret #6. If I apply some bar chords there, I get metal sounding tune. If I even move past fret 6, I get the same annoying sound, with no change in tune.
It looks as if this problem is progressing down the guitar neck. A month ago, it was fret #8.
Any ideas how to fix this guitar?

Thank you kindly

Re: Re: Guitar Tunes going bad

Sounds like a warped neck or one that is losing its strength to hold the pressure of the string tension, depending on what kind of guitar it is (adjustable truss rod or not) it may require some profesional help otherwise you may have to replace it smile
