Guitar String Muting Licks & Rhythms | Funk & Blues Guitar Lesson
🕑 Added 2022-02-15 21:33:35 +0000 UTCHello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another technique tutorial. As requested by your fellow patron Jonathan T, in today's session we'll be learning the proper method for string muting (also known as string blocking.) We'll begin this lesson by learning the basic approach before applying the technique to a funky rhythm and SRV inspired blues licks. Let's get started!
Note: I'm very proud to announce a new partnership with Truefire. In the near future I'll be producing content for their world famous learning platform, which will provide me with new tools and opportunities to create some truly fantastic content here on Patreon. Stay tuned! -Rob

Rob, Seeing your beautiful Gretsch guitar reminds me of Mr. Guitar, Chet Atkins. Check out this video clip from the Johnny Cash special https://youtu.be/GZ6VkftMO7k
Thanks. Definitely beautiful looking and sounding guitar you have there.
Hey Ben, oh yeah, I can talk about that guitar all day. Five years ago I visited Chicago music exchange and came across a beautiful late 60s Gretsch Country Gentleman. At the time I was pretty strapped for cash, so buying it wasn’t an option. Well, this year I finally put enough cash aside to purchase one, an all original 65’ GCG, and got a nice tax deduction in the process. Needless to say, I’m in love. As for the best blues guitar, it’s very subjective, but I can say that I personally appreciate the tone of humbuckers over single coil pickups. If I had to pick a real winner, I’d say the Gibson ES335 is #1.
Rob can you comment on the Gretch guitar you are playing? Also what is best guitar for blues music in your opinion? Thank you
