Morning People
I got my first guitar last week (electric) and ive never played before so im not expecting to be amazing anytime soon.
My question is how do i stop the buzz form when i leave a chord to form the next one?
I can play ACDEG without any buzz from not pressing on hard enough or touching open string but when i take my fingers off one to move to the next chord it sound awful. I can do it if i leave a few seconds to let the chord finish ringing out but no song can be played that slow.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Welcome to Guitar Noise! We look forward to seeing you around the forums! :D
You might want to read up on "palm muting" to stop your "buzzing" between chords. Palm muting is essentially stopping the guitar from "sounding" after the note(s) by basically lightly touching the strings in order to end their vibrations and therefore, the "buzzing".

thanks for the response i'll look that up, is that what everyone does between chords?
Not necessarily. When you get faster with your chord changes you'll only occasionally use muting techniques. And, there are songs that require muting (when you need to come to a dead stop for a beat or half beat). It's really a simple thing to do once you get the hang of it! It's just basically lightly touching the strings with the outer edge (pinkie side) of your fretting hand and immediately going to your next chord.
Here are some links that may help.
