In this short video lesson, Elixir Strings artist Mandy Rowden presents you to palm muting, one of the key right hand techniques to practice. By utilizing the heel of your hand to partly mute the strings near the bridge, you can develop driving rhythm guitar parts that include mood and characteristics to your playing. It’s a simple strategy but one with lots of prospective no matter what design you play! Check out Elixir Strings: https://www.elixirstrings.com/products

As a beginner guitarist, it’s simple to focus all your attention on your left hand – learning to play chords accurately and nailing scales. But your right-hand man plays a similarly crucial part in producing your sound and feel. As you develop, you’ll want to move away from simple strumming patterns and incorporate some more controlled rhythmic methods too.
