This lesson is about palm muting technique, it’s about having control over your picking hand which for most of you, you use your right hand. I’m going to serve a play for you for a second and I’ll step up to the camera and kind of get an idea where my hand’s position, I always have it over the right hand of, I mean over the, my right hand over the bridge and I’ve got it sort of loosely there.
[Demonstration]
Able to control, you know, how the notes ring out using my right hand.
[Demonstration]
That’s because my right hand is near the bridge and I can, at will use my hand as a damper for the strings. It gives me a lot more control, allows me to take notes to and from—
[Demonstration]
Or they ring out so you can choke notes that way. It’s really important that you get this technique down right. I’ve had students play it for me and I instantly see that they are using inefficient picking and they’re moving their hand way out of range of the strings. They’re not picking up and down or they’re not using good right hand muting techniques because you know, you’ve heard it—
[Demonstration]
In a million songs and you need to be able to know how to do this because you’re probably end up inventing some of your own songs licks and you’ll want to have control over the guitar rather than it has control over you. So that’s the trick for the day. It’s getting your right hand position near the bridge over these areas so that at will you can lift it when applied pressure as you find necessary. Okay, so that’s it for the day. Thanks for tuning in for this two minute guitar trick and it is easy, you can do it. Okay, thanks, bye-bye now.
