Question About Muting With The Fretting Hand Options

[Michael C]

Hallo Pavel

First of all thank you for your lessons -

In order to get such a clean playing with the elimination of the noise - do you use your fretting hand to mute? I know you said in a legato lesson that you use your index finger to mute the string above the one you are playing and the strings under!?

But what i really wanted to know was if you then mute adjecent strings with the other three finger one fretting handi any situations. In your legato lesson you said to play with the fingertips so i guess wenn you play legato you just use the index finger to mute on the fretting hand?

I then saw your lesson on sweep picking and you described a sweep tutorial to someone in there but i didn't understand quit because there you described to use the fretting hand to mute. But do you use other fingers than your index to mute on the fretting hand when playing sweep? And in generally which situations do you then use your fretting hand fingers to mute? I mean the situations where you use the three other fingers except than the index finger which i know you use - if you use the three other fingers at all.

Hope you understand

And thank you very much.

Greetings

Michael C

Actually it's quite naturally so you don't have to pay some extra attention to it. If you fret a note you will notice that the index finger is touching all the strings below the one you play
