      Hi Emil

      Great one for this Fast Licks!

      And here I had one little problem when I practice.

      when I pull off I use my middle finger, Like the example below, I will do pull off at the B string from fret 5 to 3

      E -----------------------------
      B -------3--5----------------
      G -----------------------------
      D -----------------------------
      A -----------------------------
      E -----------------------------

      and I always touch the E string and have slightly noise of E sound, cannot make it clean;

      I searched for some answers for this problem, here are:

      • mute the E string using the index finger
      • gently touch the E string and mute E string use the pull-off finger when doing the pull-off stuff
      • neither, practice a lot and always pay attention try not to touch neither of string and never mute any string unless you want to.

      I got confused about these three solutions and maybe you have better ideas?

      Thks! much appreciate that if you can reply and have a great day!

        Hi!

        When I make a pull off like that, I mute the e string with my left hand index finger. I do it without thinking about it, and it will become something you do without thinking about it if you’ve done it enough times.
        Kind regards /Emil
