Is there any specific song, lick or pattern you‘re working on? I‘m a bit out of my practice routine but would like to get back into it with fresh ideas. Ever since I‘ve been playing in a band, practice turned somewhat into stale song repetition, if any.
I never thought about muting! Slides are a little too advanced for me still, but it makes sense, yeah. I still feel more comfortable on the lower frets, especially as they’re the only ones I can play without keeping my eyes on the fretboard constantly. I still get the awful twang a lot more on the higher frets.
