Hey guys,
Iv been practicing my improvised soloing for ages now but a fair amount of the time I get abit of string noise from unwanted strings e.g bumping the string above when I bend...My accuracy obviously needs some more work lol.

Does anyone have any tips on how to mute the strings I don't want to play? Iv noticed alot of guitar players use their strumming hand almost sitting on the strings by the bridge, is this to mute the other strings they're not playing?

Cheers,
Cav
