I've always struggled with unwanted noise from... well, a lot of things. I guess I'm not alone in this, but I feel I really want to do something about it now that I try to get back into playing more. "Practice more" is an obvious solution, but if anyone has good lessons/techniques to make practice more efficient that would be awesome.
Things I want to fix:
- Unplayed strings making noises. I try to mute with both hands, but I find it often affects the sound of the string I'm playing. I accidentally palm mute or dampen with fret hand, especially when moving between strings.
- Unclean lead notes. Not sure where this comes from, maybe it's bad string muting, but sometimes I think this occurs even when the other strings are muted. Could it be something in my setup? (it occurs on multiple guitars, so probably not, but it's not as much on all of them)
- Trouble getting gates etc working quickly enough when trying something Djentier. Even with quite extreme settings with different gates notes that I mute completely are never staccato and have residual hiss and sound. Just muting a single string played shouldn't be that hard - should it?
Any tips and pointers would be super helpful.
