Is there anyone out there that can offer me some advice?
When picking the G string I've found that the D string vibrates and makes itself heard at a very low volume. I am not touching the D string. (I seems it wants to join in with a little "vibrating" backup... if you know what I mean.)
Is it proper to do a little palm muting to deaden the string? Is it a bad technique?
I've tried to extend my index finger but it is so hard to change my picking style. Any one else had this problem?
