    Palm muting advice

    I guess the problem is that the harder I press on the strings, the less crunchy it sounds and sounds more "tinny". If that makes sense. But I'll dick around and see what happens.

    Palm muting advice

    Thanks for the tips. This has been one of the most frustrating aspects of playing guitar. I'm getting barre chords down but palm muting has just been a stumbling block. Especially since most of the stuff I listen to and want to play is hard rock, metal, and a little bit of punk.

    Palm muting advice

    I figured it out. I have to crank the guitar up, not the drive volume on the amp. With the guitar turned up and the drive volume set on 2, I live in an apartment after all, I can get all my guitars to sound good palm muted.

    Palm muting advice

    You know what's weird? I can pull it off on my Syn Gates Standard but I can't get it to soundd as good on my Teles and LP. Go figure.

    It's the only riff of theirs I can play, but it counts right? :LOL: And now technically, I can play a whole song!!!

    That's so right. I love how this way of playing is starting to feel natural. Instead of only using my first 3 fingers and jumping around. My pinky is getting stronger everyday.

    Almost got it. This riff is from a song that saved my life and it's only fitting that it be played on Jimmy's Dragon Telecaster. Just gotta smooth out the picking and get Jimmy's groove down.

    I can't believe I never listened that closely to the lyrics before. They are motivating.

    Just remembered a song that helps. It's called "Get Up" by Shinedown. Great message about not giving up.

    Thanks for sharing your stories guys. Also, I'm starting to feel like a grandma. I was 21 when COE dropped. :LOL: Also, I'm liking seeing Linkin Park mentioned. Hybrid Theory dropped when I was a sophomore in high school, Slipknots self titled album dropped the year before. Slipknot helped me...
