If so why do you do it ? Greetings Michael Well, i think i see what you mean, actually, i always touch (with my index finger, left hand) the string above the one im playing when i bend, its just to mute it, because it can get pretty noisy when doing bends/vibrato. Hope it helps, if that's what you asked about. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Being a good guitar tech is a very different and extremely difficult job, so why not leave it to a pro?"

You can mute other strings with other fingers as well, it depends on the part and players technique and choice. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
