      Can I ask a question?
      How do you swing down usually the second time so it dosn't make the same time?
      It's like a deaf version of the swing.

      @@andreipop5805 Hi there - It’s called a palm mute; you have to place your hand across all the strings on a down strum a fraction of a second before the pick hits. It’s all about timing and finding the best position for your hand to make contact. It took me a few days of practice (on and off in bursts of about 10 minutes 3 or 4 times a day) but It was worth it. I hope this helps. Best of luck. Alan :)

    Oh, life is bigger
    It's bigger
    Than you and you are not me
    The lengths that I will go to
    The distance in your eyes
    Oh no, I've said too much
    I set it up
    That's me in the corner
    That's me in the spotlight
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep up with you
    And I don't know if I can do it
    Oh no, I've said too much
    I haven't said enough
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try
    Every whisper
    Of every waking hour
    I'm choosing my confessions
    Trying to keep an eye on you
    Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
    Oh no, I've said too much
    I set it up
    Consider this
    Consider this
    The hint of the century
    Consider this
    The slip that brought me
    To my knees failed
    What if all these fantasies
    Come flailing around
    Now I've said too much
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try
    But that was just a dream
    That was just a dream
    That's me in the corner
    That's me in the spotlight
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep up with you
    And I don't know if I can do it
    Oh no, I've said too much
    I haven't said enough
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try
    But that was just a dream
    Try, cry
    Why try?
    That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream
    Dream

    Hi
    Its called Palm Muting; you have to cover or dampen all the strings with your hand a split second before you make the downstrum. Its a bit tricky to get the timing at first, but with a little practice it will become second nature :)

    Hi there
    That is the first real "wall" that new guitarists come up against. There is no easy answer, you just have to keep practicing; a few minutes a day changing from an open chord to F and back should see improvement after a week or so. But it is worth the effort.
    Cheers.
