[FliiipK]

is that first hammer on a lead in to the first bar or right on the start of the bar?

[MarloweDK]

@FliiipK Its right on the one

[eberbachl]

Thanks very much for the lesson! I have a quick question about muting. I am hitting the strings fairly accurately, but I get quite a lot of unwanted sympathetic ringing from the E string when hammering on the A or D string. How do you maintain such a tight and clean sound without any ringing on the E string. Do you mute it near the bridge with your forearm?

[MarloweDK]

@eberbachl Yes I mute with my right hand forearm but also sometimes with the fingertips or thumb of my left hand (of the fingers that are NOT fingering notes)

Hello, thanks for the lesson you are a very good teacher. Please hep me with a problem, when i am doing the muted g string pop it sound like a death passive sound, but when you do it it sound much more aggresive. But i am affraid to break my string if i pool too much, any advice? Thanks.

[MarloweDK]

@Ingratil try and change the strings for newer ones, thats maybe it

[MarloweDK]

@TheK9rocker Thank you, but remember that we dont ever "master" anything - if you did you would playing with all the big classic rock bands by now;-)
