A fairly simple but annoying thing. This is one of the guitarist's most frequently occurring burdens. There's a few reasons why this will happen and here's what you should do :-)
Not gonna lie, I was really bothered by the fact that everything important to look at (connections and what not) were super blurry or the view was blocked by your hand. But I stuck it out and payed attention to what you were saying, tried it on my guitar, AND IT WORKED! So excited to have that sound gone! Thank you so much!
thank you so much! I've been playing electric guitar for over a year now and my guitar constantly has a problem at the output jack. Whenever I plug it in all the way, all these crackling noises appear out of no where. So I've had to plug it halfway in just right for the guitar not to make noise. I followed your instruction and gave it a good clean so everything is good now. I can happily plug it all the way in
Hi David, as long as there's guitar content that I can pass on I'll keep on doing it and thanks so much for your kind comment :-) I find there's so many quick and easy little jobs that can be done with regular household tools that it'd be a shame not to impart a little knowledge if I possibly can. Cheers buddy :-)
Hi Pete :-) I have thought of this but there's so many clever guitar schoolers out there that I feel I'd be lost in the vacuum. As it turns out, I did teach music in our local schools and colleges but the conditions were poor, the pay wasn't brilliant and even worse, they stopped us using the cane! Where's the fun in that? :-)
Hi Kenny :-) Barrel jacks, in my experience, are usually only fixable with a new barrel jack unfortunately. It's probably worth trying the sandpaper trick, using Servisol electrical cleaner and checking the connectors for a solid joint but usually, once they've corrupted a replacement will be required. Luckily, they're not too expensive and fairly easy to replace with basic DIY skills. Cheers, Gary :-)
Apparently! Aluminium is not a ferromagnetic metal!!! Faraday cage (bag) effect works only on ferromagnetic metals! It is transparent to electromagnetic waves! Yes, there are situation that it can reflect a portion, but not to bring the electromagnetic potential to 0! Should be some ordinary metal foil - e.g. iron, nickel...You can place a metal iron plate on the bottom, and ground all the earth cables to it, the effect will be distinguishable. It might work also with a copper plate, but should be thick enough. Even easier, use some metal paint and paint the cavity
Hi MIKGIGS :-) Seems to me that you're quite the expert on this subject! I've never used cavity paint before but I've frequently lined the cavity with copper tape and that works really well. Cheers, Gary :-)
Oh Michael, I'm so sorry. However, one can't know something until one knows something. I'm fully aware that guys like you and I (and a fair few others on here) know all this caper but we do want to encourage newbies into the fold and keep them rocking and not buzzing :-)

Hi Seth and thanks :-) I'm so happy it worked for you :-) I really must endeavour to improve my technique with those 'fix-up' videos. Cheers, Gary :-)
great advice, fixed my noisy jack that's been bugging me for years, thanks a lot :)
Hi Lorenzo :-) You're welcome! Other tips coming up. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi there Pham :-) I'm happy that this was useful for you. I just had a look at your channel - my word! That's some lovely playing. Cheers, Gary :-)
Great advice for folks that don’t usually take guitars apart !
Love you’re channel , keep them coming 👍🏼

i like your style roxy, have you never thought of doing the odd tutorial ?

Question. How do you fix a barrel jack noise?

@@FoxysGuitarShow it is known as “guitar shielding conductive paint” or “conductive shield paint”
Sorted who needs to know anymore.

Dirt in your socket very irritating , most orifices need a clean sometimes 👍😊
Hi Bill :-) Nothing worse than dirt in one's socket. Sometimes only a jolly good sorting out with rolled up sandpaper will do the trick! Ooo-err :-)
@@FoxysGuitarShow we are all men of the world I don't mind double entendres but that's bordering on triple entendre I've never been so..so...ooh!.😲😮

Hi Paul, I'm glad you found it useful. Cheers, Gary :-)
Cor... fuck...lot goin on...
Hi Robin :-) True, true, but cheaper than taking it to the local guitar tech! Cheers, Gary :-)
