hey guy,
i recently played those two songs, both with an interesting strumming at the beginning of the song in which you mute the adjacent strings while playing one note especially emphazised.
i just wanted to know if you have a special technique for this because i think it is rather hard to do this without making the other strings sound too!
do you have any suggestions how to mute or maybe any good practices?

thanks!

Here is the lesson from Ivan : http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...-technique-101/

It's not that hard actually, just practice it slow, as you can see in the lesson. With a metronome and some focused practice you can learn it nicely in a week.

thanks guys!
