I've always had trouble with this - how exactly do you do a percussive stroke (apologies to all those who are sitting their smacking their foreheads thinking I'm completely stupid. I don't know the correct term for this). Are all of the strings muted with your right hand while strumming, or do you just pull your fingers off of the fretboard a bit? I think you mean a rake? Something like: E||-------|| B||--7----|| G||--x----|| D||--x----|| A||--x----|| E||-------|| Where the x is a "dead note" e.g. just a click .... I do this by fretting the note that will sound with my index finger, then deaden the rest of the strings with the remaning fingers of my fretting hand. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Ok, so from what I'm seeing either way works fine. Lemme throw out an example: e|-4-4-x-x-x-4-x-4--4-4-4-4--0-0-x-x-x-0-x-0--0-0-0-0---| B|-5-5-x-x-x-5-x-5--5-5-5-5--0-0-x-x-x-0-x-0--0-0-0-0---| G|-6-6-x-x-x-6-x-6--6-6-6-6--1-1-x-x-x-1-x-1--1-1-1-1---| D|-6-6-x-x-x-6-x-6--6-6-6-6--2-2-x-x-x-2-x-2--2-2-2-2---| A|-4-4-x-x-x-4-x-4--4-4-4-4--2-2-x-x-x-2-x-2--2-2-2-2---| E|------x-x-x----x--------------------x-x-x----x---------------| Would you use a barre chord type muting for that, or more of a right hand muting with that? Ok, so this was slightly different from what I understood, but Tank covered it nicely. Since you have a whole line of Xs, the bar technique would work well here ... I find palm muting works better if you have say 2 or 3 of the lower pitched strings to mute, but you could prbably get it to work either way as Tank said. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
