gnease has said it well.
electric guitar is different than acoustic. you develop a style of playing so to speak with one.
it is kinda fun as the guitar responds to how you play it.
three strings are often much better than all six. three is a chord anyway.
I like to play with my hands and fingers very close to the strings.
I can control the sustains and such. with a lot of distortion or high gain palm muting the entire time is almost de rigeur.
learn the different damping and muting techniques and work them into your playing.
both hands. you will have power over your tone then.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-330896 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-330888 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:55:18 +0000
learning to mute with both hands is important to electric guitar proficiency. also important is learning to make sparser playing sound good. many strums on an electric are done on muted or partially muted strings, and often on fewer strings. this is going to be a new world for you, give it some time and practice. if you've been playing acoustic for five years, and are somewhat accomplished, you'll get this too.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-330888 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-330875 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 01:34:58 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-330875 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-330862 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:22:18 +0000
There are alot of different nuances between the acoustic and electric that you will have to get used to.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-330862 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-36243 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:13:34 +0000
It's the unwanted resonance I get when I play open strings. The tone seems to continue forever. For example I take wonderful tonight (a solo arrangement). The song starts with a sequence with a few opens strings, being G D G E, then into the high riff, probably well known to everyone that's heard the song.

The problem is, the D and G tones seem to go on forever, even till long into the high riff (like 2 measures beyond). I have tried to solve this, half succesfully, by muting the strings with my wrist/palm. It's very hard though (maybe I'm just getting used to it, I have my electrical guitar for 2 days now), and the song sounds a little "empty" when I continue playing after muting all the strings.

Any advice? Thanks in advance.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kappie https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/unwanted-resonance/#post-36243
