Calvin,
Sounds like your guitar is a little tight.
Try backing off the nylon tuner untill you get some slack in the pull rod, then retune.

Back off the lever pull rod until you've got some slack in it, then retune your E string, then tune your lever pull. You've proably just got it to tight.
If some one has better ideas hopefully they'll be along soon.

See Calvin, if you just hang in there with us, your questions will get answered. I'm glad to see you didn't give up on posting questions on the forum. You will find most players (like me ) just want to help and keep new players coming in to keep our great instrument alive. I know it can be frustrating, but you are showing a determination to become a great player. Keep up the questions and I wish you the best of luck.
Happy new year my steel playing friend.
