So, I just started session 6 and it seemed to be going well till I come to eighth, quarter, and half rests when strumming the minor seventh chords. I have watched Steve’s videos and when it comes to exercises 1 (C/Am7/C/Am7) and 3 (Em7/D/Em7/B7) of the “Open Minor 7th Chords” which contain rests, he actively mutes exercise 1’s quarter rests, but he doesn’t doesn’t mute the eighth and half rests in exercise 3. Why? What is the difference? Since I’m learning to read music on a staff, it seems to me that all rests should mute the strings. I am so confused as to what to do. Please help guide me to the right answer as this is holding me up from advancing.
