To answer your questions:

1) My guitar is Yamaha FGX 800C.

2) The problem is when I press the B string

3) I will try different strings -- thx Fergler and ivansc for the recommendations

4) I read up on pitch issues and found this: http://ghost32writer.com/?p=19580 . While I know my guitar probably needs 'nut work' I think I'll try his temporary fix:



5) I'll try tuning a bit flat and see if it helps

6) @grinder I knew you were going to ask for a sample

Here is a short sample:

I'm playing C - D - Bm ... But you'll hear the 'd' note in the Bm chord --- this note I cannot fix in my mix. You think it stick out now, imagine it post-compression and limited!!!
Going by that sample the whole guitar sounds out of tune, not to mention the clunky sounding strum job. No offense. It just sounds like a beginner playing a cheap guitar he doesn't really know how to tune. Plus it looks like someone's done some kind of half baked home remedy hack job on that compensated saddle. You need to get your guitar to a repair place and fix it properly.
