It’s possible to mute sustained notes on a guitar by putting your left or
right hand on the fretboard while the notes still sound, which results in the
characteristic ‘Hand Mute’ sound.
It’s possible to mute sustained notes on a guitar by pushing your palm
against the string while the notes still sound, which results in the
characteristic and percussive ‘Palm Mute’ sound.
If you touch sustaining strings with your plectrum, the sound will stop and
a soft ‘click’ will be audible.
Stopping a note with a short slide down is a typical guitar playing
technique. ‘Slide Down Short’ results in a very short slide on release.
