fret buzz question

I got a Fender American Strat. Sometimes the strings buzz when I play and I wonder if its probably because I need to adjust the strings near the bridge or because I'm not playing right and not pushing the strings down hard enough near the fret.

    if they're buzzing at your hand, you're not fretting hard enough. if they're buzzing somewhere higher up the neck, the set-up is out of whack.

    Yeah, you may need to get the frets filed... or fret the strings harder.

    perhaps raise the saddle. and your guitar may be set up for the wrong gauge strings

    dude....sounds like your guitar is fretted out. that means the neck is just slightyly twisted a certain way. take it to a guitar center and ask the guy if you need a truss rod adjustment becuase of the buzz. i've had the same problem and that always seemed to straighten it out.....no pun intended ;)
