    yeah get them all learned and make sure you know what sound every note makes then you just have to decide what will sound best to play, the problem I see most the time is players either try to over complicate it or fill it with just as many notes as possible

    mute it with your picking hand next to the bridge…

    But How?If a mute with my picking hand all the arpeggio will be muted and will sound really bad…

    How you mute the notes one by one in the return of the arpeggio?

    You pretty much just lightly rest your palm on the bridge. It takes some practice but you’ll hear the diffrence. Just keep trying.

    Try playing clean or invest into a distortion pedal.

    learn to mute your notes….. using your palm helps… but what really helps me the most is muting with my fretting hand….

    Josh, you are by far the best teacher yet. Thank you a thousand times for helping with the illusive arpeggio. You should be the next Randy Rhoads, its only a matter of time.
