Thread Name: Time for another spirited debate (muting strings)
Subject: RE: TIME FOR ANOTHER SPIRITED DEBATE!
Thanks for pointing out the Doc Watson cut, BSeed. I had to search the house to find my Doc Watson albums, but finally I found the cut on a Doc album called "Doc Watson on Stage," which may be the CD name for the same album you have. Guess I didn't remember the cut because it comes just before Doc's great recording of "Life Gets Teejus Don't It." I'm just a clunker when it comes to playing instruments. Can somebody explain how you mute strings? I halfway recall that you're supposed to hold your finger lightly on the string, so it goes "thud" instead of "ping." there must be more exact ways to do it. Please explain. -Joe Offer-
