I've made the transition from a guitar modder to guitar player, and one of the things I'm struggling with is open strings.
When I'm finger picking on my acoustic or electric I can get all the fretted notes to sound beautiful, but as soon as I hit an open plain string it really stands out. Even with a zero fret they sound noticeably worse. I've figured out how to fix it with effects, but I'd rather hear what you guys have to say about how I can fix my technique. Right now I've tried palm muting, picking location, and picking intensity, but I still can't get it to sound right.
