I've been playing rythem guitar for years, but have recently started trying to learn some lead. My question is how to avoid the unwanted sound from the other strings. I don't mean from accidental contact. I am referring to bending. EXAMPLE: If you bend the B string full, you are touching the G. When you release the bend off of the G it creates unwanted sound. What setting do I need to tweek to mask the sound.

I had this proble before and refer to it as a "Twangy G String" no pun intended. What was creating my problem was when I changed the strings out prior to this the G String was not properly (fully) seated in the nut. Since this, I have used nut juice every time I change strings out and haven't had the problem since. It's usually some thing simple, so I would check this out first.

P.S. If this isn't it try adjusting (lowering) the tremble and/or the mid range to get it out....

Hi SCSnapper, Another tip if you bend a lot is as follows, I have played for years and used this to good effect...If you rub a pencil over the nut so graphite comes off and goes into the nut slots, it lubricates well and the string will return quickly to pitch after bending.
