My guitar teacher said I should be anchoring my wrist to the bridge of the guitar so I can learn to play the strings by feel instead of looking at them. The problem is though that anywhere I position my hand on the bridge I am either muting strings constantly, or I am unable to mute at all if I need to.
When the heel of my palm is on the bridge, it is natural for me to pick in between the pickup closest to the bridge, and the one in the middle.
Yet every instructional video I see on this site with the guy with the long ponytail playing a red strat he is all over the place.
