Im getting noise on 4 and 5 stringers. What can I do to fix this? I sweep from the wrist on the 3 strings but it seems as if there has to be arm movement on the bigger ones.

You keep your wrist at one spot, muting the strings perfectly but whey you have to expand to 4, 5 and 6 string sweeps you have to move your whole hand up and down. The motion is diffrent + you have to adjust your hand to keep on muting the strings right. Fixing this can only be done by practicing and trying to mute the strings correctly...

Muting the strings that you don't play, as you would for the 3-string sweeps or any type of playing would be how I'd stop that, but I'm not sure I know what you refer to. Are you able to post a video or explain in more detail? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You're just used to how you did it before. A change of technique is something your hands have to get used to in muting out that unwanted fret noise. Good luck. I'm still practicing on even little sweeps. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

This goes for any kind of tempo increase as well. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It's all worth it in the end though, mate. Keep at it. Just focus on muting the strings the way these guys told you.

Posts: 866 Joined: 6-February 09 From: Manchester, UK	Just an additional thing you can keep in mind when sweeping (if you don't already): Besides using the picking hand to mute unwanted notes below (towards you) the note/string you play and the fretting hand fingers above (towards floor) to mute where possible, it's a good idea when sweeping to "roll" with the notes. The process is that, once you have played a note and start going to the next, don't lift the finger suddenly off and away from the string - rather release the tension and keep the finger at rest on the string until you've progressed onto the next note and the other hand/fingers come to the muting-rescue. I realise that the above is awkwardly worded, but it's difficult to describe. Easier to show someone than it is to tell someone. I hope that is makes some sense to you at least and that it can be of some help. Good luck with those schweeps You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

So, you must somehow stop the string from buzzing with your left hand finger. Maybe it's finger rolling, what kind of arpeggios are you playing?

If you can't play it clean slow you won't be able to play it clean fast. Just concentrate on the muting and try to see where the noise is coming from and how you can mute it.
