Cool, let me know how it goes. This is right up my alley because I consider Rush the greatest rock band. They had everything! My favorite album by them is Hemispheres.

Some palm-muting is a great way to mute extra strings! Keeping strings from ringing is a life-long technique that you'll use forever. There are so many ways to do it.

It does have a lot to do with muting the strings (with the remaining parts of your left-hand finger) you're not wanting to ring. The tip of your fretting fingers can go past the A and...

Also, a little off topic, but Pizzicato is more of a plucked violin sound in classical music, and violin strings don't ring much. *plunk!* So you can emulate that by slightly...
