Hi MH,
In the example you give I would use my index finger on the G string and middle finger on the E string. I would also use my index finger to mute the B string. Just roll the index finger until it touches the B string. Ivan has a lesson on muting ... here is the link. Good luck. |

If both those strings are played with the pick
then there is supposed to be an X sign on B string which means dead note. And yes,usually it's mutes by using finger that you're using for G string. But also you can use pick for G string and right hand middle finger for high E string,this way you won't be playing B string at all and so there is no need to focus on muting it. I would suggest you to practice it both way,just in case.

QUOTE (kaznie_NL @ Oct 22 2008, 03:36 PM)  You're right about the muting, but Paul Gilbert once gave a tip as well. It's on youtube. Use outside picking! So pick the 6th note on the G string with a downstroke and pick the 6th note on the E string with a up stroke. This can help not to touch the middle B string. Also if this doesn't work try inside picking, which is just he other way around! This wouldn't work if you have to play both notes at the same time, works only for separate notes. And it the tab above I see that notes are lined vertically on the same spot which means you have to play them at the same time.

I'm going with Muris' answer.
this is where you pick the two notes either with pick + a finger (pick any finger) or two fingers (thumb+index or index+ring just what feels right) The string isn't muted here (I think I always mute the B string when it comes to this) e - - - - -6 - - - - b - - - - - - - - - - g - - - - -6 - - - - D - - - - - - - - - - A - - - - - - - - - - E - - - - - - - - - - This is a stroke with the pick where you mute the middle string with the index finger that you placed on the G string. e - - - - -6 - - - - b - - - - -x- - - - - g - - - - -6 - - - - D - - - - - - - - - - A - - - - - - - - - - E - - - - - - - - - - This post has been edited by MickeM: Oct 22 2008, 03:28 PM -------------------- My bands homepage

If you wanna mute the b string, the good way to do it is by placing the finger (the one that you fret the G string), slighlty over the b string to prevent it from ringing.

Thanks for the link - I've been doing that lesson already, but was hoping for something more for muting strings that would be intentionally hit along with the note(If that makes sense). But I will try your technique. Thanks, mh QUOTE (Muris Varajic @ Oct 22 2008, 02:49 AM) If both those strings are played with the pick then there is supposed to be an X sign on B string which means dead note.

I would suggest you to practice it both way,just in case. So maybe the lesson I am refrring to is not really a muting and more of a picking/fingering as you described, as its written exactly the way I tabbed it out. Here it is: David Wallimann's Essential Blues Licks you should know(3rd video page - tab is at bottom): https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ou-should-know/ You will see there's a series of notes played like this near the end of the tab. for the multiple picking technique as you described, is there a lesson you can recommend?
