These palm muting tips will help you to power up your palm muting technique and get those chunky power chord riffs sounding awesome and heavy...like you hear in music by Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera and other great metal bands. This guitar technique can take a little practice to get right, but by following the palm muting tips in this lesson you'll be able to avoid some of the most common mistakes players make. I'm muting an E5 chord in this lesson. Hand position is important when palm muting chords. Too far back near the bridge, or too far forward and your palm muting won't hit the spot!
