Palm Muting Options

[cmgmc]

Hi all
I saw an interesting post in the REC Zone by Darius about Palm Muting:

"To get most powerful and juicy palm muting tone, we do not "jump with the pick" as with regular picking motion. It's rather pushing it hardly to make is sweep from one string to another (another is a kind of limit line and resting point after the stroke). So the mechanics of this looks like:

1. Rest the pick on muted string
2. Press until it falls onto another string"

Can anyone point me to a video that show what Darius is suggesting?

By the way, the REC Zone is a chest of treasure, so many important suggestions and idea there.

Thanks in advance
Carmine

Here is a quick demo with a guitar cam. Watch my right hand. The back part of my hand stays planted on the bridge while I'm striking the strings. This gives a nice muted chunky sound



About 1:17 in on this video I do a bit of palm muting. Just watch my right hand. It's not that hard really, just keep your hand on the bridge and mute the strings while you pick
