OK you got only one video marked with # 4 in your Little Jazz Workshop Lesson 3 - Solo .I was asking you how you mute the G-D stings and play the E note on the 5th frat on the B sting at the same time. So you got 2 death stings and on note at the same time. Enough info now can you figure out what i'm taking about?

The problem there is with the muting nothing else man. You should mute the strings above with your picking hand, just rest the palm for a second on the D and G strings and go over them with a pick. That should create that raking effect.

Ask if you need anything else, I will be glad to help. Cheers

Thank you Ivan .I was trying to mute with my ring finger cause is a death note.OK I try to mute with my palm lest's see how works this out.

Feel free to mute the strings with your fretting hand if the fingering (situation) allows it. I just gave an example, it is not a strict rule to use picking hand palm. Do whatever you see it produces the best results and result should be - notes without any additional noise.

Cheers man, let me know how it went.
