String muting is another technique that may aid you define your own personal style. There are two types of string muting, the palm mute with your picks hand and the string mute with your fret hand. They serve very dissimilar purposes, but both are important to good guitar playing. Fret-hand muting is particularly important when playing chords and power chord. The intention is to use part of you finger tips and fingers to mute the strings you don’t want to include in the chord being played. For example the C majors chord is played from the 5th string to the first, your are not supposed to hit the 6th string. I use the tip of my 3rd finger that is keeping down the 5th string 3rd fret to rub up versus the sixth string thereby muting the string. I use this same technique with power chords, but in addition I use the fat part of my index finger to lightly lay all over strings 1,2,3. with just sufficient pressure to mute the strings. The beauty is if you get a little wild with your pick it still sounds right. Fret-hand muting is employed extensively. Palm muting is more normally applied in distorted rock songs. The technique involves resting the heel of your pick-hand palm on the strings as you pick. Most humans rest it directly over the bridge, but you may experiment with dissimilar positions for dissimilar sounds. Also undertake dissimilar levels of pressure to regulate the level of muting. This technique gives rise to a percussive, muffled or chunky sound. Combine fast down strokes with palm muting in respective patterns with moderate distortion for sounds similar to Metallica or other metal bands. Both fret hand muting and palm muting are very person and stylistic techniques. |
