Some of you know that I prefer using alternate picking instead of economy. I do use economy sometimes but mostly when playing faster arpeggios. If you need any advice about this feel free to ask.

I have just uploaded a video for Dexxter's MTP program explaining the first 4 bars of my AP etude in A minor
Later in the video I explained about the dynamics and combination between muted and non-muted notes when alternate picking. I hope this can help with that. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

That looks very much like the answer I was looking for. For some reason, I had perceived a "palm mute" in the sense of an effect only for a particular riff or phrase and always kept a very hands-off approach otherwise? For my whole life, I had considered I had to play so clean that in the context of muting unwanted noise I had to delicately roll the palm on the bridge as I play. As such, a palm mute in my erroneous conception was kind of like a form of cheating. Immediately assuming I was doing something wrong. Sounds pretty silly I know. Clearly, I over-thought this one. Cleared up a huge misconception there for me and that means a hell of a lot to me. Sometimes, all it takes is for just the same old thing I have heard many times over ... to be uttered in just a slightly different way. Thanks Emir! You made my day. Great man I am happy if this helped you. There is nothing wrong with palm muting but of course you shouldn't overdo it. Mix it with normaly played notes for better dynamics and better control so you help yourself to play cleaner -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I have been approaching it more or less that way but I have gone overboard in the other direction ... like I cannot palm mute unless it is a national emergency or something? Excellent. Great advice. Thanks. Palm muting is an important part for cleanness, control and dynamics. You can use it anytime when you feel it helps. No need to be afraid of that -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>
