You know how you have to roll your ringer on some sweeps that are like ----14- -----14 -------14 well when you do a pattern like that your using your part of your finger to mute the previous string.Same applies to the rest.It's tuff man and i'm still working on it myself but that the way i think you need to try it. Good Luck Dont Give Up Shredmandan Hey Sorry if you wernt talking about sweeping It looked like you were to me but your topic is called tapping.

Just lay your index finger on the string,slightly touching it and you'll kill noise for sure. If I got you right,you're trying some "two hand tapping",right? Take something to do dumpener work,like sock or som... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But if you stay on the high e string (the thin one), then you don't have to mute the other lower strings (that sound lower, but are higher ), right?? Because they are heavier and don't move (as much) as the high e string is when you're on the b string? I'm quite bad at muting strings.. In fact I think I can only mute the low e string with my right hand, and sometimes (if I have the time ) with my left hand (usually I use the whole hand on all the strings, or so I think ).
