Muting strings in slap....

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok, I've did some searching, but can't really find what Im looking for. My questions are, can you use muting as a means to get rid of noise from other strings? And if so, I've heard most people do this with their left hand, but I can't seem to figure out how to mute when my left hand is doing other stuff. So, how would you mute for the left and right hands in order to reduce string noise? So far, I've been "aiming" at the correct string in hopes of hitting it without hitting any other strings. I also can't seem to get that pop from slapping as you do with popping. On recordings it seems pretty even....

Thanks....
