Hey there Gmc,
I also have a question about string muting. I am not a complete beginner but despite of the fact I think I have been doing something wrong the whole time . It bothers me that my licks don't sound clear. (And I am not talking about distortion here)...It's just that I think I let notes ring which shouldn't ring, and I don't know exactly how to mute them...maybe this example makes it clearer to you...

I have always been playing this lick by fretting the fifth fret on the high e and b string the whole time over the lick..so that the A in this case keeps ringing through the whole lick...and I guess that's the reasons why I always think there is too much noise when playing licks like that.
So I wanted to ask how you guys play that lick for example..what do you do to let the note sound as long as their note value really is...?
