Or posture !
Remember those pics you always say I’ll be along to post, when someone is asking about neck angles ? Some solutions are easy to fix, you just need to lift your head up.
But now I have a tone dilemma, LP or Washburn. Its never ending !
If you are having issues with muting, you might want to try a neck mute/fretwrap:
Cheers,

Thanks for the links Keith. Great for lead work etc with both but unfortunately is was power chord rhythms and the progression features some open chords, along with the 6th and 5th string PCs. So both of these band-aids would not work in this particular scenario.
After several more run throughs, yesterday evening, it was definitely a combination of neck angle (too level while sitting) and an errant finger tip straying to the fret (and maybe “muting” to lightly). So some more focused fretting seems to have resolved it.
Definitely not present on the Washburns or Strat, so hand position relative to scale length could be a factor on the LP. So something to be mindful of going forward for this type of song.
@CT Clint an audio share, would be an OM spoiler and I like to keep my hand covered if possible ! But think of that 5th fret 6th string harmonic droning on and on in the back ground and mainly clashing with the D power chord more than anything.
Thanks again peeps.
No worries, maybe you can share after the big reveal? Just having a hard time hearing it in my mind’s ear.

Boy I wish I’d had that problem, until I solved it 
you could just post 2 or 3 notes an we could play Name That Tune Just kidding, I understand keeping it under wraps.
If folk were into the unnamed band and I included the BT intro drums I suspect it would named on the first power chord !
Just ran into something like this myself. Working on a song with crunchy gain, noticed when I played a B on the 3rd string 4th fret, there was a definite harmonic-sounding pitch ringing out, even after I muted the string.
A bit of experimenting with muting different strings and it turns out it’s coming from the 6th string (low E). I guess the B is a natural harmonic on the E string so it’s not too surprising that it resonates, but it’s very obvious when monitoring with headphones.
A bit more experimenting and it turns out that low E string will start to resonate if I play a B or an E on any other string, anywhere on the fretboard. It’s way more obvious in some positions than others. The B on 3rd string 4th fret is the strongest one, 4th string 9th fret is very close and the rest are noticeably weaker.
Muting behind the nut doesn’t seem to make any difference.
Fascinating stuff, I had no idea my guitar was doing this until today.
