    generally palm muting is for more rhythmic percussive sounds. so the bending of a string while muting wont really work because you would kill the sustain. but you can get a good enough feel at it to just slightly mute the string but still letting it sustain a bit. the feel gets developed over time. :)

    I've been using your videos for quite a while now, with much admiration for your ability. Much appreciated.
    Palm muting seemed such a difficult task! The only thing I was getting wrong, which was a major mistake, was muting the strings at the wrong place! I was way too far from the bridge, effectively zeroing the volume. I'm glad you mentioned that! Thank you!

    Just realized how crucial the palm placement is-just over the bridge. I was attempting to mute further up the strings and not only is it more difficult and the sound less consistent, it doesn’t sound the same. Wish I would have seen this video years ago!

    Actually one technique I like to do a lot is to palm mute on my right hand and then fret the notes on my left hand lightly (to produce dead notes). Kick in a tinge of overdrive. And that can allow you to mimic those funk music tones...

    been playing guitar for 14 years but mainly as a lead/solo guitarist, and now i have joined a cover band who plays lot's of Gojira and Tool and because of that i have realized that i gotta step up my rythm-game, a lot. and i gotta admit shredding/picking from that palm-mute position is a really different feel, it's like I'm a beginner again haha

    @crownjewel555 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you want a chunky sound, I found out that, on a les paul, or anything with a tail bridge, if you put your palm more on the strings, like right after the bridge, not too far up, it get really chunky with distortion. Its in general better to use the technique showed on the video because its easy. Also if you do this extensively, its a good way to work on down strokes and where to put your hand to get the fasted speed or best sound.
