[@PollinatorPlates]

Ahhhh- I feel like an idiot! I've been trying to get that sound forever and couldn't figure out how they did it. THANK YOU!

[@phantomBlurrrr]

I know what you mean, I was trying to get that sound for the longest time as well and thought that I needed a Mesa Amp to do it or something (I thought it was my amp that was incapable of doin' it)

[@sagegeier1506]

I always knew that the technique was palm muting but I didn't even use my wrist every time I tried (and failed) 😂 I honestly feel really dumb

[@charliechan1379]

I also was finding this guitar tone that I want. I check every tutorials of effects pedals and I finally found it!..... .....I love this effect called "clean"

[@ryanchapman423]

I'm still having to work on my palm muting lol I'm used to acoustic still

[@slopcrusher3482]

Pollinator Plates Me too, I thought people were muting with their fingers on the neck

[@GuitarLessons365]

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. :)

[@antrikshkhadgata3773]

You are the reason why I still don't give up on my guitar when it gets hard for me... Keep going like this man 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@lorenzovicari4668]

I've been playing the guitar amateurishly for 4 years, this is the one and only explanation that got me there. Thank you Sir!

[@mashrafi157]

Bruh that killer crispy guitar tone

[@GuitarLessons365]

Yeah palm muting is essential for all styles of guitar for allowing you more control of the sound and feel of the strings. Thanks a bunch for the comment and rating!! :)

[@christianlopez2793]

Ah back when you couldnt specifically reply to a comment

[@SagarVibhute]

Thanks for this lesson! This is generally an ignored topic and in most forums will be reduced to a single line like, "use the fleshy underside of your hand to mute". I used to try muting it on the bridge pickup but now I know it's gotta be further back :) Thanks again!

[@PaulElderDesign]

I took the description of “heavy palm muting” literally. After this video I now have the perfect aggressive metal palm mute. You’re the best! 🤘😝🤘

[@alexanderrot2270]

Trying to learn van halen's ain't talking bout love and can already play the tune in the actuall rhythm but couldn't get the muted sound.The video really helped here

[@deedofi7970]

Did you learn it?

[@EvAn-tm3yb]

Did you?

[@marksimpson2321]

I haven't played a guitar for 20 years and i used to be DIRE but you are great and these clips make me want to try again properly as a beginner. Keep up the really clear explaining and teaching. Ty.

[@notprofessional8622]

What if he played bass? His fingers would go past *ALL* the strings. 🤣

[@obversedd]

Kinda bad that I’ve been playing for two years and never learned palm muting. 😐

Same lol

[@avasipahioglu71]

Well you learn it now, better now than never🤷‍♀️

[@luciamistrikova9825]

I've kinda been learning guitar for over five years and nobody ever taught me palm muting...well here I am learning by my self lmao

[@ahnaftahmid872]

I knew how to mute but never knew the actual way

[@captainskater8047]

Same🤣

[@piqresq]

I was trying to figure out palm muting and your advice about putting your hand as light as possible on the bridge really helped me! Thank you so much!

[@reyd5649]

11 years later, still learning. cheers man means a lot ❤️

[@rumentanchev770]

Very well explained and extremely useful for me. I have always wondered what the proper technique for PM is. Thank you very much, Carl! ❤🙏 The best guitar channel , I have come across to! 🎸🎸🎸

[@isrhazan7896]

best video out there it also helped me to understand that practicing one thing on a guitar can take a week or more of practice time to perfect and i shouldn't just jump to another thing the moment i get the hang of the previous thing. thanks man

[@b44styreraug]

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...

[@holamovie9343]

“Very very very lightly” *destroys guitar*

[@regina0311]

Thank you ! Beguinner here, you helped a lot !

[@HS6_00]

I’m not a beginner but I put off learning this for some stupid reason. Thanks for making this easy to understand I learned this pretty late at night.

[@sunavila]

Thank you Carl for this video.

[@kellymundy4471]

Brilliant, been guilty of pressing to hard and couldn't get this at all till I watched this, thanks 👍

[@hatsunemiku6845]

9:02 Don't mind me, just making a bookmark for practicing palm muting

[@Thadnill]

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

[@qwertyki9367]

yea, theres always something to learn

[@C10uD50]

Oh my god finally, I’ve been wondering for so long how to get this sound on my guitar, I just didn’t know what to do or what it was even called until now. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

[@MP-09]

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!

[@hillers54]

Great tip about not too much pressure Carl 👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶

[@williheckaslike]

You are an Excellent teacher ~ It's great that you give your time, patience, and share your skill's, free ~ Good luck to you ~ All the very best ~ Geoff

[@bizichyld]

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!

[@Walrozzie]

I LOVE that you make it possible to see both your hands. Thank you!!

[@movmes2583]

You are the reason Why i started to play guitar.

[@RemixRave]

Probably the best beginner lesson I've seen so far on KZbin ...

[@sameenakausar1020]

Thanks for explaining in detail.Thanks for being slow in explaining, which will help us in grasping the lesson quite easily. I will practice the exercises you have mentioned.You technique of pressing the strings lightly really helped me a lot.Earlier I used to hit the strings to mute ,which was very difficult.Now all I do is move my palm slightly forward to mute the strings.

[@夢ヒミコ]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I never thought of relaxing my restless right hand on the saddle. ALREADY SUBSCRIBED

[@thelukabaruka]

you are doing god's work, my friend. THANK YOU

[@Voffsing1]

I didn't quite like that it took 4 minutes until we got to hear anything. Would've preferred to see a short example in the beginning to get a glimpse of what the result was going to be, more specifically. Good video nonetheless!

[@GuitarLessons365]

Voffsing1 Yeah this was shot a few years ago before I got the knack for this whole KZbin teaching thing. However, now every video I have made the past couple of years has a full performance at the very beginning. :)

[@Voffsing1]

Awesome, you're a great teacher. Keep up the good work :)

[@bimeshbiswa8974]

bestest video teacher in the planet

[@bizichyld]

Been playing acoustic for years and due to laziness I record with the garage band app and add distortion/pedals instead of just buying an electric. Not learning how to properly palm mute was kind of a side effect of that but you’ve fixed that for me. Thanks!

[@YuvrajK.Official]

Wow! This is 10 years old from now! This is really coo!

dude, your fingers are MADE for playing guitar. I found you through your Enter Sandman video and this video really helps me with palm muting, I had no idea how that actually worked xD

[@Qoooba95]

i guess i have asked already but how long do you play? your technique amazes me sometimes ! i really appreciate all the effort you put into those lessons thx!

[@javierf55]

Great and useful lesson, thanks for sharing. So necessary for Blues compings.

[@daveharding3207]

Great lesson. I've never realised the sound gets more bassey depending on the pressure. I've been fiddling with my amp settings to get that sound. Thanks.

[@nizodizo9549]

I just use my right forearm. Your technique is interesting. Thanks for the video about Palm Muting.

[@CoCoCat1234]

I assume this is the exact same technique used & to be practiced on an acoustic? On acoustics, are players usually concentrating on the 3 lowest strings while muting as well?

[@quentinenjalric3261]

huge thank you for the lesson man.

[@crownjewel555]

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.

[@mega_jonne1546]

palm mutes are my favorite sound

[@WinLoveCry]

[@renatadragondotter4657]

You’re lifesaver!! Thank you so much for your time to explain this to uneducated people like me, it was really useful tutorial! I tried to figure it out how my favourite artists do it for a long time now, and never really understood the technique of it, but you explained everything really comprehensibly, so thanks to you I finally can make that cool muting sound too!! 🙏🏻

Probably a really stupid question, but how do you play/mute something like 7-X-9-X, where you have to mute 2 strings in between the ones you have to play all at once?

[@drippy6941]

how do you alternately pick while palm muting at the same time? i have trouble doing it because sometimes the pick gets stuck and has a hard time getting past the string

[@matiasnasman4985]

Maybe you have figured this out by now but I saw another video when the tip was to think of the pick as if it was a key that you are turning

[@drippy6941]

@@matiasnasman4985 yea It’s been a minute, that’s the tip I used. I basically angle the pick so it cuts through easier

[@03toyotacorolla]

[@RicardoTheCraneOperator]

[@pae39]

I see you play chords downwards... is it possible to palm mute chords going upward? to play faster maybe? I have tried upwards and seems to be harder to me to keep hight notes strings muted

[@VikalpSaiyam]

thanks man great work

[@onixmusematt]

Hey man! Thx for upping this lesson. I have one question though: A friend of mine studied with a well seasoned guitarist from our area and he is now trying to teach me to mute 5 strings at once. Is this really all that necessary or is it some kind of cop-out for not moving the palm of the hand onto lower(higher pitched) strings when necessary? Thanks
