Why does my G string buzz?

If your G string buzzes as an open string, the problem is the nut height. Once you place your finger on any fret and the buzz goes away, it can only mean that the nut height is too low and the string is touching the first fret or two. This is the buzz that happens behind the fretted notes (toward the headstock or nut).
