EGS Lesson Four Developing rock guitar rhythm playing – introducing palm muting
Palm muting involves damping the strings with the plectrum hand when striking the strings. This is a common technique employed in rock music to create a ‘tight’ and ‘clipped’ rhythm guitar sound.
Of the note values learned so far, the eighth note is the only one which would be played with muting, as the very process of muting prevents the guitar from sustaining for any length of time beyond an eighth note.
