Can this palm muting technique be used for fast blues licks, or would that mess up the bend of the string?

[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. :)

first view heeh 5* im not much of a metal person but i use some times that to control the attack and the volume and dinamics anyways 5* carl

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!! :)

@mattjoe952k9 Try to increase your speed and pick them down-down instead of down-up.

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!
