I suppose that title could sound wrong in hindsight, so I'll just forget about it and move on.
Basically, I've been working on bends and such a lot lately, and something is really frustrating me. When doing a basic two-fret bend on say the B string, how do you guys deal with the other strings that get in the way when you push up? For me, they either catch in my (rather short) fingernails and pluck and sound when I release the bend, or they slip under my fingers and sit with the string I'm bending. And yep... when I release the bend, they slip out and ring. I can semi mute the lower strings with my right hand, which partially solves the problem, but it can still be annoying.
Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing how you guys get around this.
You need to mute the strings that aren't being bent with your picking hand
And by the strings not being bent I mean the strings that are not meant to be sounding
So should I just place my picking hand over the strings the same way that I'd place it over the saddles if I were palm muting? (although on the strings, not the saddles, in this case)
