Would really appreciate any advice on this issue. I can’t figure out how to pull this off successfully without muting the string to be sounded, or without ringing out muted strings to some degree.
Keep this in the context that I actually do a lot of non-bend raking like backwards rakes over chords, and left hand string muting (think SRV shuffles like Pride, and especially Cold Shot). That’s coming along.
However, raking into bends consistently just isn’t happening. I have seen some artists use their first finger as a mute, but I’m interested in the SRV style where the mute from the rake comes purely from the right hand. To add complexity, my degree of success changes across the different fretboard radiuses.
I’ve tried to approach it methodically before asking for help. Moreover, I can’t even find a single decent video on the issue (for right hand only string rakes), and I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with little to show for it. Gaaaa.
Thanks in advance if any of you have any advice or techniques you could recommend.
