All you gotta do is lift when you change keys or between measures, and it'll clear out the sound so you can get to the next part.
But all that is moot if you're playing really slowly and the sound has time to clear out because you're taking a long time between notes trying to figure out what's coming up next in the song because you haven't practiced enough to figure out where your hands are going to be, which is what you're doing.
