I blocked off the trem completely on my Parker Nitefly, but have recently been wondering if I should un-block. My biggest concern is, changing pitch inadvertantly with palm mutes, etc. Is that something you have to get used to/adapt your style for? If so, I may wait until I have more than 1 guitar for gigs.


Thanks!

Hey Gabe, you should be able to palm mute without affecting the pitch.. it just takes a little adjusting and being mindful of how much pressure you're putting on the strings. You can even slightly make the notes go sharp on a fixed bridge guitar too if you mute too heavily so it's not just a whammy thing smile.gif

Thanks so much Ben!! I really don't have much background using trem, but after reading so much/learning so much these last 6 months at GMC......why am I "limiting" myself, and my musical expression?

Definitely, use all assets at your disposal.. you'll find the way through touch and experimentation ! smile.gif

he was putting so much pressure on it, that he was actually doing exactly what the Doughnut Master described.
