String Muting.

Marvin Allen

Greetings, I hope you all have had a great summer.Id like to share some thoughts with you on the process of controlling unwanted string noise.The technique is referred to as muting and can be achieved with the right or left hand by touching your fingers or the heel of your palm to the string.Usually one hand or the other is in a better position to deal with muting although sometimes i use both to insure a clean sound when i play.If you are right handed then your left hand will be forming the chord and your left hand pinky will be free to silence the strings at any time.If your left hand is too busy to mute then you can always use your right hand by setting the heel of your palm down onto the strings.I hope this gives you some ideas on muting.see you next time MARVIN ALLEN
