Hi all
Does any one have any tips for removing unwanted string noise when playing with heavy distortion. Palm muting is fine for rythem sections bit when I get to the solo sections it is noisy. I am 3 notes per string shred exercises at the moment in an attempt to play a little faster but even this sounds rubbish
Please guys any tips will do ?

Try Telcom/Baby Powder

I read it in a book somewhere

It will come in time. Lightly palm mute the strings. ever so lightly.

??? As a matter of interest, where are you supposed to apply the talcum powder?

Govendl3, ja, the problem is partly that when you're playing individually picked notes, you can't just mute all six strings indiscriminately - the sympathetic noise coming from the other strings is either happening because they're not being touched at all and are ringing out when the body vibrates (though I find this happens much more on my little nylon-string acoustic than on my electrics) or one of your hands is accidentally knocking them/making them vibrate. So it becomes a little game of muting the strings you aren't using with whatever parts of the hand or fingers are available, without compromising your playing. And picking as accurately as possible. I don't think there's one easy answer as to what to use, IMO.

Id assume on your right hand (ie. finger board hand).

Thanks all
Much appreciated
Guess I will just keep practicing
