Re: Palm mute
A stiff pick held lightly has the same affect, and then gives you support when you need to do a fast single line passage.
on palm muting:
Listen to how Sam Bush chops with the 'whisper' he puts in and compare it to say, Adam Steffey. The chop is a form of palm muting.Both are excellent mandolinists - this is a stylistic comparison for the ears, not a judgement on either player. There's a lot to be said for palm muting. And, as you get better at it, it brings in a whole tonal palate.]
