Hi,

I've recently started learning to play the guitar.

It's going fine but there's one thing that's bothering me a lot and it doesn't seem like a very common problem as I've tried to search for it on the internet and it also never gets mentioned in the lessons.

Whenever I let go of a string - I accidently play that string.

See video. It's very clear when I let go of the E and A string.

Are there any exercises to correct this?

Thank you.

EDIT:

Another example:

Could it be the guitar?

So I've gotten to the chords part of the lessons. It's even worse switching between chords:

Very frusrating...
