Carl gave you the right idea: mute with your right hand, tips of left hand fingers, pick, in short anything you can use to make physical contact with strings to mute them.

I have a tutorial that deals a bit with this somewhat slighted topic of muting. Best of all it is about blues rock licks similiar to what you are trying to accomplish.

In lesson 6 I start talking about the basic lick & mechanics involved. I even show variations of right hand muting. In lesson 7 is the expanded variation that is closer to what you are trying to do. Again, there is a right hand view. Both lessons have backing tracks to practice getting the lick right in a rhythmic context.

Best of success!
