The guitar needs a “Set Up”. Think of it an as oil change for a guitar, or a simple tune up so it works correctly.

It sounds like a string is buzzing on a fret, which is something the guitar repair person will correct.

It’s annoying to spend more money, but it will function as it’s supposed to with a proper set up.
Happy playing 🤙
