I just can't mute in those licks! Iv tried it all, the only thing im missing is the muting. Cause my fingers can most certantly play the licks fast. But they are useless if the muting is not down.... I don't know why i can't get it! Iv never been this angry at playing guitar before :mad:

People don't have to answer this post, it's just a scream of frustration!


I can't help but think you are trying to play it too fast before you have it down by playing it slow. I remember learning Pride -n- Joy from SRV not so long ago and for what ever reason, the licks he playing between verse lines, a few of them were just a pain for me. I've paly for a long time and usually don't wrestle with too many licks and getting up to speed kinda quickly (kinda...). I had to slow myself down on the SRV licks. I was pushing too fast. I fear you are doing the same. You will be able to do it if you go through the tedious work of learning slow, speeding up a little, then a little more and so on.
