Hi, I asked that a few weeks later, I took the guitar to the technician and he said it's do not buzzing. So I am wondering if can be caused by my bad technique. I am playing on guitar about year and half and I am totally self thought. Because when i play single note is not buzzing only when i play chord or bar chords. I like play on electric guitar on clean channel or some chorus but the buzzing goes through the amp. I don't know what to do ...

Can you post a video showing both of your hands as you play? Plenty of guitar players here, we can help if that's the problem.

A general tip about your left hand that helps keep your fingers from getting in each others way:

At all times, do your best to keep your left hand thumb (assuming you are right-handed) in the center of the back of the neck. It's not always possible but just try your best to keep returning that thumb to the center.

Sloppy fretting technique can only be cured by practice.

If a Tech has checked out the guitar (string height, neck bow, fret wear, etc...) and has told you there is nothing wrong with the set-up...then (what ghost-of-strings and Retroverbial are trying to tell you) it is your technique. In short: You are not putting even pressure on all strings covered when you form a note or bar cord, and one or more strings are vibrating against the fret above the one you are attempting to play.
