“The SECRET to Muffling Strings on a 5-String Bass – No More Unwanted Ringing!”
In this lesson, we dove into muting techniques for the 5-string bass, focusing on how to keep your playing clean and prevent unwanted string noise. We discussed:
•Why the muting technique is the same for 4-string, 5-string, and even 6-string basses.
•The importance of avoiding “fret wraps” and developing proper muting habits.
•Several methods to mute strings effectively, including using your right hand when slapping and hovering your left hand fingers over unused strings.
•How good posture and recording your practice can help refine your technique over time.
This is all about building muscle memory and cleaner playing, so keep practicing these techniques regularly. You’ll soon notice a significant improvement in your sound!
