Noise Reduction?

I've been practising some of the slower GnR's solos recently and can get them to sound ok apart from this . Also, when I play slightly faster solos on the higher frets, I sometimes get a weird booming sound coming from my amp. Anyone have ideas on how to stop this as well?

It has a lot to do with being precise (not hitting wrong frets and not hitting the strings around) and also right hand muting. I didn't quite understand the "booming" sound? Any details?

The booming only happens when i'm playing with distortion or a lot of gain and usually happens around frets 14-17 on strings 1 and 2 particularly. When it does happen, the note that is played sounds out of tune and louder than the rest. If it helps at all, i get it a lot when playing the notes on the first string in the Sweet Child of Mine intro, especially on the 14th fret. Sorry if that made no sense at all .

Maybe somebody else here had experienced some similar problems and might be of help. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

As Pavel said, it comes with practice, but try playing exercises really (really) slowly and try to pinpoint where the noise is coming from, then work out ways to avoid the noise. Also, try to get hold of some Stylus Pick plectrums, they are designed to help economise your picking strokes which could help to eliminate unwanted noise. Hope that helps!

Apply these mutings in EVERY exercise you do as they are crusial in developing your sound. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If your amp has a reverb tank (spring reverb) then that can sometimes be the cause of booming and feedback problems. The metallic springs inside the tank have a resonant frequency in the higher registers and can start to vibrate crazily at certain notes. This is usually fixed by dampening the springs but some cheaper amps don't have this dampening and it can be a problem. If have a spring reverb, it still may be engaged in the signal chain even if you turn it down/off, as it may just be muting the input to the spring tank and not the output. If you do have a spring reverb and suspect it may be the cause you can place foam inside the spring tank between the springs and the outside of the spring tank to stop the feedback and booming noises, however your reverb will not function correctly whilst the foam is in place.
