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!

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.
