Backer Corner with Matt Heaton - Palm Muting

[@danydhondt4677]

another great educational video. Matt, you're such an inspiring and calm teacher. You're a great guitarist and at the same time a humble person. Like most Irish guitarists, you're holding your plectrum with two fingers instead of three. That's why I switched from 3 to 2 also. It gives me more flexibility in my wrist. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Very helpful. Moving the hand up to the sound hole to get the slapping sound was a real eye opener for me. Glad that I found this channel! Thanks for the video!

Excellent instructions 👍

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

And palm muting is a pretty excellent strategy. It can add a color and a rhythmic feel that really blends with a melody instrument.

Having started as a metal guitarist where palm muting is very prevalent, it's nice to have it explained and implemented on an acoustic guitar as well. 👍

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

yes! A great technique, welcome at many different parties!

I was happy he put this one together!

Ah, now I know more about the ingredients of what I'm listening to!

"and annoying the flute player".....not you! 😂 What model Martin is that?

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

It's a 00-12, a custom one from the Music Emporium in Lexington. For years (and in many vids on this channel), Matt played a 00-1.... and in the thumbnail is a Bourgeois OM, which he was just holding.
