I have a Squier Bullet Strat and a fender mini amp and I'm not sure which kind of cable I have, but whenever I plug in the cable to the amp and guitar, there's a buzzing noise and when I strum open it's very muted; when i play with my fingers on the strings it's less muted. But when I touch the metal part where the cable plugs into the guitar, and also put my other finger on a string and strum, it sounds absolutely wonderful. But obviously it's pretty limiting and uncomfortable to play weird like that, so please tell me what to do!

Also, when I unplug the guitar but the cable's still plugged into the amp and I put my finger on the tip of the cable, it buzzes.

I've done a tiny bit of research about grounding, but I'm not quite sure what that is...please help!
