Ben's done a great job here again. I'd like to throw in this video too from Andy James on the subject.

This is all because of muting. I find its a process we get comfortable with very naturally, as we practice. But - we do need to be aware of it in the first place and pay attention. We want to avoid any unnecessary noises being heard while we play and its achieved with various techniques using both hands. At one point it will come natural and you will do it automatically without even thinking about it.

We want to avoid any unnecessary noises being heard while we play and its achieved with various techniques using both hands. At one point it will come natural and you will do it automatically without even thinking about it. Absolutely! - and n order to be aware of it, you need to turn up your amp a bit so you can hear it! Paul Gilbert once said, when you're amp is turned way up, it's often difficult to "tame the beast" because every time you touch a string, it let's you know about it right away, and often wants to get away from you We adapt to what we are aware of - you should practice at higher volumes so you're aware of what your instrument sounds like at those volumes, and that includes the increased string chatter. You won't like the chatter, but your natural inclination will be to solve the problem by adjusting your hands and fingers while playing to eliminate it, and as we all know, practice makes perfect. When you turn down again, your hands will have solved much of the problem. Give it time and practice! -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
