Palm muting is a guitar technique that is often associated with rock, metal and punk playing. Although this technique appears in pretty much any genre you can think of, these are the genres where it is primarily used, especially when creating heavy, chunky rhythm sounds.
The technique involves resting the heel of your picking hand on the guitars bridge at the point where the string comes over the saddle. This produces a muted, but still pitched version of the notes that you’re playing.
