Default resonant freq problem?

the B string on the GS mini buzzes when I play C# on the bass E. When I play any other fret/chord the B doesn't have that weird buzz.

What's up with that? How could I solve that?

Thanks!

Hmmm nothing to do with pressing the string wrongly because the open string is the one buzzing when I’m fretting another string.

No, watch again. The technique is called ‘muting’. Any unplayed string must be muted ...unless you’re Neil Young,

Erm... I actually want those open string to ring out? I’m not trying to mute the open B?

I find it strange that your open string buzzes
I would think since its open it shouldnt buzz at all.
If your action is low it would buzz on a fretted note.
My thought is something else might be loose in your guitar.
tuning peg on b string? Internal brace cracked? Bridge pin?
endpin jack? pickguard? All could buzz with a resonant freq
of that c#. try playing the note and when its buzzing
gently touch the b string and see if it stops? If not try to mute
other places to try to locate.

Okay,
I'm not doing that. Way too much work for a guy who plays for fun.

Does it do it for just that particular c# or any c# you play?
