it sounds like maybe the volume knob on the guitar was rolled backon the previous The reason I ask for a bit more gain is to allow it to catch any string noise and make it stick out more. In this way I can isolate any issues with the palm mute. With lighter gain, string noise is reduced so it's harder to diagnose any problems in technique. I have that guitar on my buy list! They are great axes. Super congrats! Give this one more go and I think you have it! The more you can open your pick hand, and avoid using a clenched/fist pick grip, the better your coverage of the bridge/mute will be. most players rely on their fret hand to mute the high strings and only palm mute the lower strings with the left hand. This is usually fine, but on open string licks, the fret hand mute is not there, for example. This is why I try to guide players to as full a palm mute as possible to allow for flexibility later on in terms of what can be played. I hope this all makes sense
Ill have a look at your new vid!The tone in the new vid is working better well done there! This guitar has loweer gain pickups than the ibanez but it's just fine for our purposes here.
The good news is that you mute is solid and your picking is clean and strong! Now for the bad news. Your synch sounds like it's lagging behind the click and drifting a bit around the click. Maybe slow things down just a pinch and try to make a strike on top of each click. If you play in between the clicks, this is ok as well, it's just a bit harder as you have to almost guess and its' possible to drift around. Pick striking on the clicks allows you to time your strikes to an audio even which is why I suggest it.
I like that you are pushing the speed here!! Maybe do a slow pass and a pushing the speed pass in the same vid?
This is a complicated Lick soldier. It's worth getting this one right as many missions to come are built on this same exact lick. Being able to play it in time and in synch is a crucial step in moving forward. Once more in to the breach!

Hi,
Yes was using the stock high gain patch, but probably volume in this was was low, so it might not come up fully.
Yeah the palm muting! will focus on that a bit more, different axe than usual (pretty bight eh...lol) probably need to play it a bit more to get use to the bridge.
Thanks
