Hi Tom ~

I'm having trouble with getting other strings to sound when bending notes. Your playing is so clean and just wondering if you have some advice for improving my technique. (for some reason I can't find much on this site but it's probably right in front of my nose). Thanks.

Mike

Hi Mike.

yeah, that can certainly be frustrating! I find that I often mute unwanted strings with my right hand by resting it on the unwanted strings. Sometimes the left hand can help as well.

Good luck, Tom
