Fretting is a technique used on stringed instruments to alter the sound of the instrument and change the pitch of the strings. It is done by pressing down on the strings, usually with a finger or a plectrum. This causes the strings to vibrate at a different frequency, altering the sound of the instrument. When playing certain chords, adjusting the frets can help to create a different sound.
