Is palm muting important?

One of the most valuable techniques for playing an aggressive style of guitar is known as palm muting. It can be used on both electric and acoustic guitars to dampen the strings and minimize sustain for a unique effect.

What is the fastest way to pick palm muting?

Holding the pick just between thumb and one finger gives enough movement to play across two or three strings without moving the part of the palm that is muting. If you move, say, to the top three strings, then slide the whole hand downwards so that the palm mute part of your hand is over those strings.

What is the fastest way to palm mute power chords?

Practice keeping your hand relatively close to the bridge and switching between palm muted and ringing power chords. Tap out a slow beet with your foot, and play 2 power chords on each, the first two being palm-muted, the next two ringing. Increase the speed gradually and you should get the concept pretty well.
