Palm Mute

Hi,












Palm muting is a guitar technique to muffle the strings slightly.
To achieve this sound, place your palm just over the saddles on the bridge.
Most of the time I use my thumb to play the notes but bass player like Gary Willis will include his index and middle finger.
You can create the pedal rock sound using the palm mute technique.

Have fun.

  2. The paradiddle is one of the basic building blocks
    (or rudiments) in drumming, in addition to flams, drags,
    and rolls. Paradiddles are typically one of the first
    rudiments taught to beginning snare drum students and
    can later be applied to the whole drum set, especially
    during fills.
