I'm having trouble muting the strings when doing shell shapes with root on the 5th string. Several harmonics going off from the top strings!
I have paid attention to the Sensei and he visibly changes the position of the hand while muting, but I still can't grasp the movement.
Does anyone have any tips or can point me to a specific lesson?
Thank you!
Yes. It's a little hard to do.
Use a tip of finger to touch the 6th string and use your thumb lightly to touch the 6th string.
In order to do this effectively. Play blues chord progression on F blues. So F7 is 5th string root,
Play it super slow! Make sure move your arm up and down wide enough so that you strum all the strings all the times,
I can make a video using this technique.
Thank you.
