Who needed to be told how to palm mute? No offence to the man making the video but seriously palm muting is pretty simple.

[wkriski]

@death0by0zgs it's not just palm muting but beginners need all the help they can get

Playing in D im sure.

[wkriski]

@ExSqUiZiT standard tuning but i make it sound heavier :)

I hate when people say distorienting the guitar is just "Noise". It's the same notes,riffs, etc. as anything a 70s or 80s guitarists would play, just more diabolical, or "Hardcore" so to speak. And just becuase the sound of the guitar is changed doesn't mean you're still not "Playing from your heart". People need to start to learn to appreciate a bigger variety of music, not just their little restricted areas/types of music, or "Baby zone".
