revised How to change the timbre of a sound incoming from a microphone (example, from panflute to sax)?
"timber" and "timbre" are totally different words. One is wood, the other is sound.

comment One note sounding louder than others - resonance? What to do?
As far as I know, most guitar tops have a certain resonant frequency whose fundamental and overtones are accentuated whenever you play a note that lines up with that frequency or its harmonics. It may be a permanent characteristic of that particular guitar.

comment How to know whether my guitar is the problem or I am the problem
You need to get some lessons from a classical guitar teacher. They can explain to you all you need to know.

comment Should i buy guitar effects even If I'm a beginner?
A distortion pedal in the hands of an untutored guitarist is an effective tool for annoying your parents. This is a goal of many young men who pick up the guitar.

"Major Mode" is the more correct way of saying "Major Scale" or more properly the "Ionian Mode". If you don't understand modes, check out Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(music)

"Sweet Home Alabama" is one of those many rock songs that is in the mixolydian mode, not the major mode. See my answer on this page.
