so my issue is that i want to listen to my guitar and not the lead guitar of the cdlc songs. is there a way to mute the lead because i cant really listen to my guitar thus i cant detect where i did mistakes, cant improvise etc. 

Hey there!   So I wonder about this for a long time and it never seemed that important to me but I regulary had this during the last days in official dlc and cdlc. I couldn't find a good answer searching for it here or on google.   How do I play open notes frethand muted? How do I do this with guitar and especially with bass? The game often shows specifically on which fret I should mute the notes with "normal" frethand muted notes/chords, so where the hack do I have to frethand mute open notes?

I know Im really late, but Im starting to stream RS 2014 more and I wonder if this will pretty much, ruin any Rocksmith stream ? http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/08/thousands-of-twitch-videos-silenced-as-streaming-site-mutes-copyrighted-audio/
