Muting
Another important technique used in Country guitar is muting the strings with the right hand. Rest the heel of the hand on the strings at the bridge and then pick the string you want to sound. It may take a bit of practice to get the desired sound, it all depends on the exact position of the right hand and the amount of pressure used on the strings.
Rest heel of right hand on strings near bridge
Example 76 is a simple lick played within pattern two in the key of G.
Example 77 is the same lick as example 76, but muting is used.
