- Learn how to palm mute on guitar and how it will help increase your strumming consistency, with the added benefit of improving your guitar tone capabilities, and adding a built-in volume control for the acoustic singer-songwriter.
I'm self taught so strumming is the weakest part of my playing, I can sound great on most songs, but if I get a faster tempo song or palm muted song, my weakness starts to show. So, with all that said - I'll give this a go. Thanks.
+Andy Copland Thanks for watching Andy. I was in the same spot and now all I do is palm mute. You'll get the hang of it quick enough :)
Dude same
Andy Copland how’s the progress now after a few months?

after 2years of playing guitar I realized how to make that palm mute thing and now I know.. my hands are too small for it ;-;
Nonsense!!! Surely your hand is big enough to get the lowest 2 strings muffled! You might have to move your hand vertically a bit to mute the strings you're aiming for but you'll naturally figure out a way to do it if you keep up the good work!
Well I can mute them but can't reach that circle to play ;-; it is not a big deal just the sound is a bit different.
It could be possible that your. Guitar is to big but I’d never know I only have 1
My hand doesn't fully mute the high e string but mygrip on the pick is different... I have both the middle and index finger on it. Is that the cause or am I doing something else wrong?
Excuses, excuses -_-
I for sure have noticed how little good players move their struming hand. It makes it hard sometimes to see what string they are playing. They are fast and move very little. There are countless subtle things to learn that have a huge impact on the sound being made.
Exactly
This short lesson just got my strumming, muting and palm muting and improvised chord selection together. Great chord progression choice!!! Thank you!
So happy to help!
Came here for palm muting left with a new chord progression that gets me moving around the fretboard. Thanks homie
Happy to help!
Thanks Sean. I struggle more w strumming than memorizing chords. Never thought that would be the case. Thanks
Not for long!
I really like this videos and humor, really. And the second camera angle is appreciated!
+Adrian-Florin Vișan Thanks so much for the support! I'll keep em coming and let me know if you have any questions!
Sean Daniel Actually I do, currently I'm struggling with fretting hand tendinosis, and can't seem to recover too fast. Any tips for fretting hand ergonomics?
I think the number one thing is to pay attention to where your thumb sits on the back of neck. The way your fingers will approach the fretboard all comes from that positioning. Like if it's cheating too far towards the headstock, you'll end up with some really uncomfortable reaches. Another thing is to maybe try a lighter set of strings so you won't have to push down as hard. Worst case scenario, maybe look into getting a nylon string classical, when my hands are feeling it, I always start playing the classical cause it's so much easier. Hope that helps!
Finally a good tutorial to learn how to mute sounds! Thank you very much!
Happy to help!
I watch so many of your videos to help with my guitar playing. You’re like my personal guitar teacher. Thanks for uploading man!
Always happy to help!
Ok I'm officially subscribing. I've been looking through videos on youtube for months to learn guitar, and yours are the ones I've actually been able to see improvement from. The way you explain things makes it so much easier to understand and actually put into practice. Definitely sticking to your channel.
I feel stupid because palm muting is a weakness of mine. Though I’m trying really hard to get myself to improve at it. I play a lot of metal songs :/
With that being said, thank you for this video! I’m taking a lot from it.
Playing for 10 years, this was still so helpful. The way you explain things just clicks with my brain. Mahalo for sharing! 🎶
When I started this I was applying too much pressure on the string. I was getting frustrated that it seemed like I couldn't learn such a simple technique. I kept trying but I was applying too little pressure. I ended up finding the middle ground. Now I'm palm muting on all six strings and it's become second nature to me! Love the help! Thanks man!
I can tell you have a really strong intuitive understanding of music, therefore, you can explain things in depth with lots of insights. Thanks!
Literally the first channel that actually helped me learn this damn instrument lol
THANK U SEAN FOR THIS!!! I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR A YEAR & A HALF & FINALLY BECUZ OF YOU, KNOW HOW TO PALM MUTE! THANKS:))))) YOUR GREAT!
This is the best tutorial on palm muting I have seen so far! Learned more than just palm muting form this.
this has been so far the most helpful video I have watched related to guitar learning. I feel finally I found somebody who is sharing the tricks :) Thanks man
Absolutely mind blown how great of a video this is. It makes so much sense!! I've been struggling with palm muting for so long. Thank you 💪
This is by far the most thorough and instructive video on muting I have found. Just watching it without my guitar I feel ready to try it out with a depth of understanding I wouldn’t have had from any other video. Thank you so much, I’m subscribed now :)
Welcome to the party
The tip about “dialing into” the strings using your thumb was incredibly helpful
Happy to help!
I had been taking the name too literally. The first 20 seconds were all I needed
Great video Sean, I got a lot more out of this than I thought I would. I thought I was just going to learn about palm mutes but I also learned about how to be precise and convserve motion at the same time. I'm really glad that I thought to look up how to do palm mutes and that I clicked on your video when I did.
Sean you're cool dude, nice teaching style, especially for beginner to intermediate folks. The humor, just the vibe..cool.
A straight-to-the-point, simple and excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Best video on palm muting by one of the best guitar teachers on UA-cam. Thanks!😊
I saw it and thought oh this looks easy af and i tried it and realized how hard it actually is to do it quickly
Cheers Sean ... another gem of information, taught in the brilliant, comical and light-hearted way we have come to expect from you.
Thoroughly informative and enjoyable, making learning a pleasure .... don't ever change!!!
+Phil James I'll keep em coming Phil!
Seano you're one of the best teachers out there, and I've seen em all and a good dude..great help thank you sir
Thanks so much! Let me know if you ever have any questions :)
Who are these four or five guys that always give your videos a "thumbs down"? Haters. Hating it. "Good stuff," is what I say.
Haters 'gon hate. Thanks for having my back Jeremy!
that's absolutely right Jeremy Kroeker
Very helpful video my friend. Thanks so much. I’m more of a piano player but decided to take guitar more seriously over the last two years. Can’t wait to practice these techniques, once again, thank you my friend. I appreciate the videos you make
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!!!!!! thanks Sean always spot on for the technical stuff which is the most important thing between getting great and sounding so so
I really like your presentation style. You focus on the areas of concern and drill in with useful insight.
Great video! I’m relatively new to guitar and I am working on trying to stop myself from forming bad habits that could limit my playing later on before they great harder to break. This video was very helpful.
this is by far THE MOST HELPFUL VIDO ON THE INTERNET THANKYOUUUUU
Hey, that thumb thing is really helpful. It took me a minute to break through on that, but it is MUCH better than trying to do it from the wrist. Thanks!
I play ukulele but haven't found a good palm muting tutorial for uke -- this one is what I needed. Thanks!
After two weeks starting out guitar I’m having hard time with this technique thanks thought I need to watch this over and practice over again
I was looking for this all over the internet!!! Thank you so much!!!
Glad I could help!
Yes, finally I can do it, thank you man. I was placing my palm directly on the strings and thus muting them altogether but now I know the way
So many helpful tips in this one video. Thanks Sean!
Learned a lot more than just palm muting. Thanks man, keep the coming.
Great lesson with really helpful details about how to pull this off. Thanks!
Awesome tutorial, thank you!! Very good hints and exercises :) After some practice my strumming got mway better.
Thank you. This was just what I was looking for. You are very detailed and I appreciate that very much. Subscribed.
Came here to learn palm muting for basket case, green day, learned a lot about that strumming too! Thank you !!
this is one of the most helpuful videos I just found. Like exactly the style I like about guitar, but didn't know howto search for it.
Thanks alot :)
Happy to help! Palm mute on!
Oh, gosh! This was amazing!
I've been wanting to learn how to do this, and I thought it would be as complicated as learning how to do it on the uke with another video. To my surprise, it only took me -- what -- seconds or minutes to do so.
You are amazing, and thank you!
Happy to help Karla!
I've been meaning to leave substantial comments on your videos but I haven't had the time to do so. Your channel has really been helping me to -- not only play better -- but to understand the instrument and have a deep love and respect for it.
I hope you have a Patreon or something so we can give back. Yours are probably the best lessons since they're the most understandable. I also find that I've been putting these skills to use.
Amazing tutorial. Thank you for explaining this so clearly and efficiently.
Happy to help!
Sean I love your videos as well as others I give a lot of respect for all you guys do for you too and help others achieve their dreams of becoming musicians
Thanks so much Quinton! I'll keep em coming!
Thank you very much ! I had a big problem understanding a palm muting and this video finnaly helped me to get it right.
A great video splattered with helpful tips, you’re the best man 🙏
Thank you so much! I've always struggled with the muted notes! I always used to overly mute it
Thank you for this great information! Going to try as soon as I get home!
Thank you!! I've been waiting for so long to find a good explanation of this! Much appreciated
+Hippy Buddah Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Video turn out to be much more helpful than expected. Thumbs up!
this was the best tutorial I´ve ever seen about palm mute , thank you so much :D
Happy to help! Rock on!
Wow this video helped me SO MUCH!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for this video! I’m actually learning the bağlama saz, a Turkish folk instrument, but this still applies. Thank you!
So cool to hear!
Thanks!! I appreciate the thumb note. People always say it’s in the wrist, but it has never felt right to focus all on the wrist!
THANK YOU! I'm currently doing FenderPlay's PAID course online and the explanation for this technique is complete a$$ !! Bless you for making this content, I'll be sure to binge your channel and have already saved several videos to watch later. Thanks!!!!
This was really dense in information, thanks for sharing!
To us drummers out there learning guitar, the thumb technique @3:20 feels a bit like learning the French grip technique, focusing on and improving your thumb/index finger fulcrum strength (ooh, sounds a little dirty, baby). It's got that same kind of thumb "thrust" movement. Perhaps there's not a lot of drummers out there learning guitar, but for the 2 of you that will read this in the next 10 years, this helped me a bit, and feels like it helps flatpicking accuracy :). Cheers!
i play guitar since 5 years bit always avoided mutening because i was just afraid of it idk why. now's the time to finally do itttt!!!
Thank you so much! This helped me out a ton!!!!
Thank you so much! I was trying to do this with my left hand and I couldn't get it to work. Much respect!
I didn't know my guitar can sound this good after I applied this tutorial..
Thanks for this video mate 🙏🏻 I finally realised where I was going wrong with this...😐 It sounds way better with my hand closer to the bridge 🙏🏻
