"Horse With No Name" Strumming Lesson

Use this two chord classic song to get your strumming hand going!

can you explain the muting? i’m not sure how to do it.

[@JaredCannata]

Muting can be done from each hand, but eventually a combination of both is best. With the fretboard hand you can release the squeezing pressure so that the strings no longer touch the frets. With the strumming hand, your wrist/palm area can drop down onto the strings to mute them. Combine both ideas for maximum muting! Eventually the chord fingers can also lay across strings when you release the pressure. Hope this helps!
