Palm Muting

Ever wondered how many bands make cool sounds?Well processors play a major role in getting sound modulations but techniques also make a difference.Palm muting is one such technique in which you are able to mute the sound that is being produced.an example of palm muting can be of what is done in the song paranoid by megadeth.it is a technique where you use your palm to mute the sound.the palm is placed just above the bridge of the guitar.the video given along will help in better understanding.
