Anybody here perfected the pinky muting technique? I can't play 16ths above 70bpm using it  |

If you can keep the focus you can pluck nearly as normal, just with your pinky floating way out on as few strings as possible (hence the need for the focus, cause you gotta think when you're changing to strings not covered). Kinda leaves my ring finger without a lot of space but you get that.
Doesn't give me the real fat mute sound that I want if I'm going to mute, dratted scrawny pinky.
Dunno how fast I can go with the pinky technique, might take the metronome out for a spin later.
