Experiencing issues with my guitar, particularly when bending strings, as my nails catch on adjacent strings. It's affecting the smoothness of my play and overall sound quality. Seeking advice or tips from fellow musicians on how to address this problem and improve my playing experience. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!Use the side of your picking hand's fingers to mute adjacent strings while bending. Press lightly, just enough to stop vibration without affecting the target string's tone. Start practicing bends slowly and deliberately, focusing on accurate finger placement and pick angle. Gradually increase speed as your control improves.
