It's hard to say for sure without seeing it, but it sounds like a classic case of "your action is too high". It might need a tweak of the truss rod, or it might need the nut and/or saddle lowered.
Unless you want to do it yourself, just tell the tech it needs a setup and tell him what you want and how you play, and it might not be a bad idea to take the Yamaha with you so he can see how you 'd like it to be.
