EGSC Audio Track 03 Palm Muting

In this video

Welcome to lesson 3 of my Electric Guitar starter course where we're taking a look at heavy rock style palm muting!

Ever wondered how rock and metal bands get that 'chug' sound? It is done with palm muting. It's relatively easy too, let's take a look!

Some play along music is missing from here because you have audio cookies disabled.

This lesson is based around an A5 power chord, played in open position. We use other chords too, which are shown in the complete TAB and in the video.
