Well my speed picking practice is shaping up - and now I figured out how to hold the plectrum I am making some progress. I have a problem with ringing strings though. Particularly when I play this pattern from Kris' lesson:

E||--------------------12----14----15----|-------||
B||--12----13----15----------------------|-------||
G||--------------------------------------|-------||
D||--------------------------------------|-------||
A||--------------------------------------|-------||
E||--------------------------------------|-------||


When I take my pinky off the B string, it rings and stays ringing, muddying up the whole riff, sounds like this :

... and gets worse when I try to play it faster. How do I avoid this? Should I be palm muting a little?

Thanks!

Sure! Because when you sit with your guitar on the left leg, it is almost the same position as if you were standing.
