I changed my guitar strings for the first time today. I watched a bunch of youtube tutorials before hand so I am 99% sure that I put the strings on correctly. All the strings sound fine apart from the low E string which whenever I play it it sounds like it is rattling against neck of the guitar. I googled it and it is called "fret buzz" or something. Anyone know how to fix this?

Did you cut well enough so that the string does not collide with anything on either side? Usually the vibrations of the guitar will shake the string ## ### ## something, other times it could be your action (this is desirable for us Flamenco guitarists).

when its buzzing for me. i just tighten or loosen the strings... which might explain why my guitars so out of tune.. this is NOT an opinionated post. debate is futile.
