Do you touch the strings above the one you are playing with your index finger og might with other fingers?

If so why do you do it ?

I'm sorry i don't understand your question, could you elaborate a bit more please?

Well, i think i see what you mean, actually, i always touch (with my index finger, left hand) the string above the one im playing when i bend, its just to mute it, because it can get pretty noisy when doing bends/vibrato.
Hope it helps, if that's what you asked about.

Hmm you can use your index finger to mute the string above by slighty touching the string above

+1. That's what I do as well

Sure, because it is the simplest technique. You can mute other strings with other fingers as well, it depends on the part and players technique and choice.
