True, but it cane be done both ways, and most people do it the other way.
And msinia, this Crossroads film with Vai in it, where can I find it? Im sure your not talking about the Brittany Spears Crossroad film, are you? Anyway I'd just like to know because I'm curious to see this guitar war.

When people mute at the bridge, don't they usually pick the first note on each string though?
That's what's so hard for me to keep clean, doing legatos going from string to string without any picking.
It's probably my poor technique though. ;)

I think I found the one you mean. Is it the one where the two black guys are talking to this kid on a road with a cloudy sky outside?

If ya want to mute your strings this way..there is an easier solution. Use a ponytail holder close to the neck on the first frets to mute. I learned this trick from Roy Ashen at G.I.T. for 8 finger tapping. But of course it helps in more cases in just the 8 finger tapping thing.

Ya know, judging from that clip, everything was over-dubbed. Steve Vai may not have been doing that when playing the actual music for the film.
