Hi, my english is not very good so i hope you will be able to understand me.
I'm learning to play electric guitar and i worked a lot on the bending technic, i play blues exercices.
Now, i have no more problem to bend full and i do it pretty fast but after i tried an exercice for full bending (simple full bending of the same note, many times and they say to mute it before release) , i'm wondering if i should mute (palming or with the tumb ??)the sound when i get to the right note, i mean for every bending without release, to not get that "cat" sound when i just pull up the finger.
It seems possible to mute the string fast enough with the pick after the bending then play the next note if its on the same string, but if it's on another string it will never be fast enough to be smooth.
So... My question is, before i get more used to do may it may be the wrong way, should i mute EVERY note that i have to bend without release before i play the next one ??? is it possible ? even the blues 1/4 bending ??? and Should i use the pick to mute it or another faster way.
