Hey Anthony, thank you so much! Before I started taking your classes I wasn't aware that something like string muting even existed! And it appears to be something crucial in guitar playing ...

Very useful lesson, Antony, confirming a guess I had that I needed to do this. I have a muting problem right now with a highly distorted, dyadic (two-note) rising 16th diatonic scale in E on the 3rd and 4th strings from frets 1 to 7. On the Strat I hear a terrible ringing on the low E on the way up and ending. It doesn't help that the scale follows an open 6th string accented chord fragment. Yikes! This is a transcription of an Andrew Gold two-guitar solo to one guitar for Linda Ronstadt's recording of "When Will I be Loved". I hope your exercise will help me train my right thumb to mute the 6th and 5th strings on the way up the scale, but so far I'm maybe too focussed on executing the 16th note dyads smoothly. Mayber it will come later. It will take more practice. My biggest takeaway from this effort has been to make sure you don't pick out a two-guitar transcription to learn, just to play a few times in your garage band set. LOL
