I'm addicted to the sound palm muting makes.

[@Ocer.]

very good tutorial thank you

[@vlonethugrichh]

Ive been playing dead notes this whole time, thank you!

[@Mythical_Gamer]

This entire time I have been just laying my fretting hand flat on the strings.

[@streamhellofutureforclearskin]

this is how youre supposed to play dead notes? ive been using my fret hand to mute the strings this whole time, thanks a lot!

[@maxallie4102]

Thank you!

[@parsamirzaagha3745]

that really helped , thanks

[@trevordillon1921]

Ooooh it’s positioning. I was losing my damn mind over here, thought I was just touching it too hard or something

[@ethanvladmir4392]

Thanks for the help, I was trying to play the song master of puppets by Metallica without the palm muting and it sounded a bit off, so thanks

[@paolomotta900]

Heavy metal is a genre where palm muting is used a lot, so make sure you practice palm muting a lot and get good at it if heavy metal is a genre that you like to play 😉

[@JGamepraiz]

THX BRO, 🙏🙏😭

[@samc2950]

Thanks 😊

[@paolomotta900]

You’re welcome 😉

[@vazi721]

this is pretty late, but thank you for the video!

[@inspektorsx683]

Oh man please tell me you have a video teaching How to do alternate picking while palm mute?

[@paolomotta900]

Not at the moment, but could plan one for the future if I get enough requests 😎

[@anthonymontero7823]

ohhhhhhh,THank you

[@KangaZune]

So is this con sordino? I’m trying to understand what it means but can’t find a definition

[@paolomotta900]

Kind of. Sordina doesn’t exist on guitar, but the effect it’s the same

[@KangaZune]

@@paolomotta900 Apparently at our school, Con sordino is the use of mute on an instrument. But I don’t quite under what the effect of a mute is?

[@paolomotta900]

@@KangaZune that’s right, in music literacy that’s what it means, but it’s not used for electric guitar terminology

[@KangaZune]

@@paolomotta900 But what does mute do?

[@pootis1167]

could you do a full version of ride the Lightning?

[@paolomotta900]

I don't think that will happen in the near future 😄

[@mikewelch3747]

I've never used my palm to mute. I've always muted with my pinky

[@concop231]

Спасибо мужик

[@093-n8v]

What guitsr is that

[@EvelynSucksAtLife]

Its a Stratocaster. Probably fender but idk

[@cleangoblin2021]

This is where the strat's volume knob fails lol.
Specially when you have scratchy knobs

[@obmal_pytan]

Left hand work is also involved here

[@paolomotta900]

Not necessarily for the technique itself. Of course if you need to play specific notes you need to make sure both hands are working together well.

[@GreatMatt4real]

gracias bana por fin te bajas del pony

[@andrey__shintar]

palm mute on stratocaster is very uncomfortably because of the volume knob!

[@paolomotta900]

I think stratocaster volume knob is just uncomfortable in general 😄although being very close you can do lots of tricks with it

[@somedingowo4671]

Tiene una pelucita en la cabeza uwu

[@zoepickle0]

it sounds high pitched and really bad
