- This is perhaps my favorite picking-hand technique for bass, and when I got it into my muscle memory and started feeling totally comfortable playing any music with it, it opened up a whole new dimension to my sound and my range.
Make sure you don't rush into it if it's totally new to you. New techniques take time to start working, and can easily lead to injury if you overdo it right out of the gate.

I will never forget first coming across your content and hearing you do this palm muted groove thing ages ago. I was totally floored. This is such a strength of yours. Obviously one of many. Thanks for making this video!
🙏
This loop sounds straight off a herbie h record! Excellent work thank you
Love the technique videos, keep em coming!
I bought this book in digital copy form .It really open a great path for my improvisation. Thanks janek
Always appreciated your muting technique Janek! As well as your selection of where to play over the pickups. A very underrated trait which was something that inspired me a lot from John Paul Jones when I first started playing.
Great tone, great rhythm feel. Five-star bass performance!
love using this technique! it adds a very unique colour to bass parts.
thank you for the video, Janek!
Love your sound man!!!
This is super helpful as i really want to get into this technique more
This is one technique I'm not well versed in. Picking, arco upright, slap, I have a good understanding. But palm muting, that's what I need to be shedding
Hi dear Janek, I m always amazed by your position with the instrument, but I m surprised of how much it seem stable, especially in the neck side... Are you using a stand or something to maintain the guitar in that position?( Kind of 'classic guitar' position, in a way) Thanks 🙏🏽 Regards
No stand, just using a classical guitar foot stall for the left foot.
@@janekgwizdala So simple, and yet, it seems so confortable. Thanks for the tip, dear Janek, I ll try asap! 🙏
This is a great standard showcase of palm muting, thank you. Could you teach us any hybrid techniques? I've tinkered with the under side of my pinky finger for muting. This allows more flexibility for playing with fingers? Any thoughts 🤔
I think my entire technique concept is a hybrid to a certain extent. I never rely 100% on one thing at a time, so I’m forever experimenting with combinations of techniques on both hands.
I've never used tapes. I use TI Flatts and Cobalt Flats by Ernie Ball as well as various roundwound strings. What's the advantage of tapes over Flats? And another great video, thanks.
Just a different feel and different sound. No better, no worse, just different. Really warm sounding to my ear. That's what I like about them.
Do you play guitar, Janek?
👍
So how many great bass lines where done with palm muting. I'm waiting
Like you could tell
Apparently you cant. @@McDoinky
Your trying to replicate bad recording techniques. James Jamerson never palm muted. Use dead flat wounds and keep in mind your attempting to replicate a studio sound that's not what James or Duck ever sounded like live where one could acctualy hear the bass
@@brianjenks1
A. The world does not revolve around Jamerson and Duck. It’s been, like, 50 years. Move on.
B. You can't tell me that Sly & the Family Stone didn't palm mute, whether it was Larry Graham or Rusty Allen playing.
C. You’re completely omitting live playing from your argument. There are plenty of bassists who palm mute on stage (i.e Pino Palladino).
D. No tech has ever told me as a bassist not to palm mute, unless the project leader was going for a more prominent attack sound. There’s no made up veto on palm muting, it all depends on the context.
@McDoinky A thumb slap does mute because of hand position. I've seen Pino play for 2 hrs and never palm muted. So easy to hide bass in the mix after all your trying to capture the sound of poorly recorded bass. Use foam or pluck up on the neck for a muted tone without losing dexterity
