Mutes on Grey Street Intro

TheGuyThatJaneLikes · Post by **TheGuyThatJaneLikes** » Wed May 25, 2005 4:06 pm

Apparently there's a "certain way" to hit the mutes, and based on the fact that it doesn't sound quite right to me when I play it, I'd be willing to bet I'm doing it wrong.

So could someone please fill me in on the right way to play it? Is it it palm or finger mutes? If it's finger mutes, what fingers?

Thanks.

use the finger that is fretting the notes on the e string to mute the a and d strings, just let your finger touch the strings lightly so that it deadens the sound

Thanks, guys, it sounds much better, now. Too bad I still haven't gotten my guitar fixed so it sounds like Grey Street being played out of a bee's ass.

Let your d string ring if playing solo/on a six string. It'll sound better.

or tune to EADGAD and use barre chords for the chorus and strum straight through
