Here is a sound clip of what I am talking about. No matter how many times I practice the same bends, they are there. When I bend into the other strings, and then release, the strings that were "bumped into" will sound off. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

With left hand you can do this with any spare finger behind the one(s) fretting. If you look closely at some players, they're doing that with the index finger when it is not otherwise being used. Alternately, and depending on the tempo of the piece you're playing, you can use your right hand for this as well. Most recent example of this that I can recall is in Piotr's very popular "Guitar Loves Piano" lesson. Watch his right hand, he mutes a number of different ways.

That lesson is a very good one to learn muting and vibrato control. Just to add another thought on this subject. I have also heard this type of tone created by pickups being to close to the strings. The magnetic pull on the string is to much and won't let things ring right. A video might help use pin point things more accurate though.

Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

There will be often some string noise when you bend, sometimes it just cannot be muted completely, but what you can do is minimize it even more, use your picking hand to mute the strings above the one you are bending, it's a delicate technique, but focus on it while practicing and it will show later in your playing as well. Try with several slightly different angles of the fretting finger (the one that bends) to experiment what angle gives you less noise. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There's plenty of time to do so, fortunately, because the noise you're getting is occurring at release. That still leaves two very strong fingers to support the bend.

The notes ont he low side can be muted with your index, the notes on the high side with your wrist, kinda like palm muting You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I used this lesson myself for practicing bending, and if I may say so, it improved my bending very much ! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...-heaven-lesson/ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
