"let ring"--how to play this
Hello. You can see in the piece below that there are two five-note bits with the instructions to "let ring." How exactly do I do that? If I'm letting those five notes "ring," does that mean I should be muting all the other notes in the piece so they don't "ring out"?
 Is there some bit of playing lead blues that I've missed out on--like I should be muting every note after its duration in the notation? Thanks.

Just let the five notes continue ringing while playing the five notes, rather than say lifting off the E note before reaching the G note. Play the rest of the piece as you normally would. It's more awkward to explain it than it is to play it.

Well, that makes sense. The author, John Ganapes of "Blue You Can Use," has given instructions to hold an open A7 chord while playing those bits and not to finger the notes individually.
Thank you.
