I’m a beginner and I’m learning basket case, so to see someone using a tele like me and showing me exactly how to palm mute was a lifesaver. Thanks!

[JLBREMER]

man that’s how they make that sound .... I’m just learning and I feel so silly it was something that simple to get that sound.

I purchased my first Stratocaster a few day’s ago and find palm muting very difficult. I’ve only owned Ibanez and never had an issue. Is this just a Fender Stratocaster thing? I’ve read a bunch of threads on this. I don’t know if maybe if it needs adjustments? The action is super low and literally place my hand completely behind the saddles and barely any pressure sometimes completely mutes the sound. I don’t wanna return it but at the same time I’m like a 7/10 on satisfaction with it. Can someone offer some advice?

Gibson is the guitar brand of tyrants, fender is that of heroes.

So palm muting is just resting your strumming hand on the strings while playing?
