	Learn Palm Mute Guitar Fast
		Palm muting is a technique used in all forms of music, but by far most religiously in rock and heavy metal.
		As well as changing chord whilst palm muting, you also need to be able to stop and start the muting in a riff to create more rhythmic effect.
		If you hit the strings whilst palm muting normally, the chord or string will still resonate for a while, so to cut this off and create a short, sharp rhythmic effect we need to stop the string from resonating manually.

		Instead of muting the notes with my fingers, I use the side of my palm to control the sound and duration of the notes.
		Once you locate your palm in the right position on the saddles you should be able to change the sound of the notes from very short and percussive to a long full sound by just varying the pressure from your palm.
		One of the advantages to muting with your palm is that the notes aren't as bright as regular notes and help you "stay out of the way" of other instruments when needed.
