How important is it that the D string is not hit?

E----------------------
B----------------------
G-11----11-----6------4
D-7-----7------x------x
A-9-----9------4------2
E-10----10----/5----5\3

How is it muted? With the 3rd finger?

Same question applies to next bit, (G string).


E---------------------0----3----3--------------3--
B-8----8----7----3----0----3----3----2----3----3--
G -x----x----x----x----x----x----2----2----2----0--
D-5----x----4----4----2----2----2----2----x----0--
A-7----7----5----5----2----2--------------x----2--
E------5---------3------------------------2----3--

I mute them both with my first finger.

I mute them both with my first finger.

Are you using your first finger to lightly bar the fret then?

No you just lay that finger litely over that string.

Gianni, that's just a physical impossibility. My first finger's on the fifth fret busy pressing on the D string.

[Nitro1515]

No, you have to lay it over the string while your pressing down the other string. Watch my video of it.

[the_drewster]

You do videos??!

Hee hee.

[madbonkey]

You do videos??!

Hee hee.

Yeah, watching the vids is how I learned to play it correctly. It was a great help. Thanks again, Gianni...

You have to angle your first finger so that it's just lightly touching the G string.

Fukin 'ell!

I know...it's not too bad after awhile. He uses that chord in a few songs. My hand angle is a little different than yours. I wish I could post pics or I would show you. I noticed that you fret the D string with the side of your finger. Try fretting it 'head on' with your finger straight if that makes sense. It makes it easier to mute that G.

[the_drewster]

Getting it. Thanks, mad.

[Sciaracastro]

i think i cant play "normally" now...i mean, i always use to mute the 1st strings every time i play something...

[Popeye2003]

Finger 1 slightly touching the D string. Simple as that

[the_drewster]

Thanks.
