G string ringing out

JeffreyS

You are never to old to learn something new.
Trying to get back to this course.
While playing example 1.11 the G string drones on and on much longer and louder it seems to me then any other string to the point of annoyance and it doesn't matter what guitar I use (all electric). Is this a result of poor technique? Or is something else?

I am guessing,maybe the E,A,B you naturally kill the sound with your palm just by nature of hand position ?

I get the same thing,especially on my MIM Strat, usually when the g is open in the chord you're playing. Did a lot of Googling, it sounds like a common complaint. I was able to make it a little more bearable by switching to a wound G string, with a slightly larger diameter. I get strings from Stringjoy, you can sub out any string spec you want to make up a set. Muting as you change chords goes a long way too.
