Hey everyone! I have been doing the sweep lessons for about 2 months now and am starting to pick up some decent speed on lesson 4.
My only problem is that when I switch to my electric guitar I am having a little bit of trouble muting the notes so that they don’t blend together when cruising or so when I release the string it doesn’t ring out.
My question is, when muting sweeps do you use a palm mute style to mute or do you use the back of your thumb?
Palm muting isn’t too hard but I do have to practice sweeping differently and it makes it harder for me to add tapped notes to the sweeps.
I started using my thumb to mute behind my pick but I don’t want to screw myself in the long run by playing weird.
Thank you!
