Marcus,

I really appreciate the way you incorporate tapping licks in our solos - exactly the way I'd like to it. After much practice, I can manage to get all my fingers in the right places and do some cool licks like the one you do in "Evening Blues". However, I can't seem to shake the noise when moving from one string to another - especially going from the b to e strings when doing a minor scale tapping run.

How does one mute that darned string if your right hand is busy tapping?? Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kizaze, and thank you! smile.gif

Well, first I must say that I haven't studied much how other guitarists do this, so I can only tell you how I do it. I guess there are few different ways though...

Anyways, my answer is really simple: - Mute the string with your left hand on those notes, instead of the right hand. I know that's easier said than done, especially when going to the E-string from the B-string smile.gif

So when I'm on the E-string, I try to very very slightly touch [read: mute] the B-string with the top of my left hand index finger.

If you want, I can try to take a photo of it so you also can see what I'm talking about. smile.gif
