String Muting

I'm still very new to guitar, practicing almost everyday. but there is something I would like help with. In one of the earlier lesseons in beginner section, they quicly go over cleaning up your sound using muting, but not enough information is given. Is there a lesson that specicicly covers this topic, or exercisis i can do to learn and become proficient at string muting. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing you are working through Guitar Fundamentals 1. Often when we start learning guitar the first struggle is to make notes & chords sound clearly & cleanly. After we can do that, then we want to clean up our playing with muting!

Essentially, you want to use both hands to mute any and all strings that your do NOT want to make sound. I cover a basic intro to right hand muting in this lesson:

And a basic intro to left hand muting here:

Hope this helps! If you have more questions, please ask. Best of success!

Hey Christopher, thanks for the replay. After doing a little more research I actually came accross those videos a few days ago, I found them extremely helpful. Again thanks for the help.

You're welcome!
