    Rachel!! Thank you so much for this. I have been totally struggling with this lately. (Your video is so timely.) I've been strumming and picking like I'm sawing wood. Then I watched Tim Pierce give a lesson on palm muting and Rick Beato talking about it too. Wow, not easy to master. But, as always, you've inspired me. I guess I got locked into a bad habit of strumming so wildly. Thank you. Please keep the videos coming. We're here.

    I was palm muting the other day and I wasn't doing so well. So I had my overdrive pedal on and I turned up the volume on the drive and I dexided to try to do a power chords 80s song. Think it was the I Wanna Rock Twisted Sister song and I accidently had my palm in the palm mute position and I actually accidently perfectly playrd a 0alm muted chord! Then I tried the open chords and it sounded just like this video! I was so happy! Gonna try to learn somebody save me by cinderella. It has a lot of palm mute open chord/normal chord transitions which will be great practice for me XD

    Hey Rachel, thanks for the explanation! My question is where I place my right hand, when I switch between palm muting and not muting because when it just floats over the strings it feels kind of uncontrolled? Like, when I play the open A string, I can rest my hand on the E string as an anchor, but I can't do that when there is no string above :D So do you just float while playing open / not muted notes on the low string? Thanks :)
