Re: Damping vs. letting notes ring
I spent a lot of years playing heavily distorted electric guitars, so muting with both hands is second nature. Most of that time was heavy metal rhythm guitar, which is extremely tight and percussive. I've noticed lately that I have a really hard time not resting the heel of my right hand on the bridge, and will often palm mute fast lines on the G strings.
It's been a very long time since I consciously worked on muting technique, so any decisions I make now would be simply what sounds best for the part.
