Hello, I am new in playing guitar and I own a Yamaha APX 500. My problem is, whenever I'm strumming , the high E string always produces a constant high pitch I don't know what to call it but it's really annoying and out of tune. It's my third time changing the string but still the same problem. Is it with the guitar, or is there something wrong with my strumming?

Thanks.

Sounds like you have a high fret to me?

How do I confirm? and am I able to fix it myself or should I take it to a tech?

Hi there,

If your not familiar with the process I would have a guitar tech look at it. It could be a number of things, high fret, bowed neck, adjustment issues etc...
