On the upstroke palm mute, do you omly play one string or the entire chord? Cause I find really difficult the last one...

[turbochickenstudios]

@121Guns there is no upstroke accent, this tech is done downstrokes. or did i misunderstand you?

[juniwilliams]

hey how do you do the fast strum at 22 seconds. I here it alot in pop songs but cant do it. Could you make a video?

[turbochickenstudios]

[AksBeats]

[Roobs67]

Nicely done, thank you.

[tremendogiove]

You have nice hands and nice fingers ... but, I have some a little problems to do it (when I'm playing on first-third frat, because of my short arms. What do you suggest me (I'm beginner) ?

[Brontosaurie]

if i'm not mistaken your tuned one half step down...

[SuicidalChickens]

@Jean1juan He means there is no upstroke in the palm mute technique.

[Sethummms]

So there's only four strings on that guitar.
