Dan Heller, an insurance salesman and former college quarterback, who was hired -relactantly, but his wife twisted his arm- just for practice, now has to captain and train a bunch of rookies and old-timers against the hardest adversaries. Dichter decides to sign up triple Super Bowl-winner Tommy Baker in Dan’s place… |

Two acoustic guitar questions,need help?
So first question,how can I mute while playing? Like on this song you have to strum,strum the muted strings,then strum again,but I have to keep my hand on the notes
Second question,when I strum,sometimes one string will make this buzzing sound,what am I doing wrong?
1. im confused haha sorry
2. you need to press your finger down harder

you can palm mute the strings, where you lay your palm right next to the bridge, look on youtube for instructions. and for the second one, try moving your finger closer to the fret. the buzzing is caused when the string is only partly touching the fret

1: when you’re playing the guitar and you have to mute a string, you have to lightly touch the string so that when you strum/pick it, you won’t hear a sound. you can do this by using a finger that’s not holding a string down to touch a string that should be muted, or use a finger that’s holding a string down to mute a string next to it by sliding the finger/string up or down (parallel to the frets) to touch the string next to it and mute it.
2: when you hear a buzzing, there are a few things that could be happening. one thing is that your finger isn’t pressing on the string hard enough for the string to vibrate and not hit a fret. another thing is that you’re strumming too hard that the string is vibrating and hitting another fret.

while playing a song where you need to mute, you can either lift up the fingers that are on the frets so they mute the strings, or use the palm of your right hand to mute
you’re probably getting the buzzing sound because your placing your finger too far back on the fret. you want to get really close to the bar but not on top of it (it needs to still resonate)
another reason for the buzzing could be something to do with the actual fretboard or body of the guitar. if that is the case, then you should probably take it to a music store and have them take a look at it. they can tell you if something needs to be fixed
good luck

Well for your first question the most popular method of muting is to put the right side of your hand/palm against the strings and continue to strum, once you want to play normally just release your hand from the strings. also another alternative way that only works some of the time, is once you want to mute use the fingers on your left hand to loosed up on the strings so they are not pressed down, but so that they are still resting on the strings so they dont play. and then once you want to play again just press down.
To answers your second question the buzzing sound is called "fret buzz". Part of this could be that you are not pressing hard enough on the strings but most of the time it is just natural that most/all acoustic guitars make this noise and it is something you will have to do this. If you have an advanced enough guitar you can lessen this buzz by loosening the "action" on you guitar. This usually has to be professionaly done unless you know somebody who REALLY knows what they’re doing. by loosening the action you are lifting the strings farther away from the fretboard lessening the chance that when vibrating the strings strike the fretboard and create the buzz. By doing this you also make the guitar harder on your fingers so beware.
