Step 1
Identify a palm mute by looking for an "X" over a line of the tab staff. If an "X" is noted over the top line of the tab staff, you will fret hand mute the E string.
-
Step 2
Use the tip of one of your fretting hand fingers to place light pressure on the string.
-
Step 3
Pluck the string to hear the desired sound. If the note still sounds fretted, place less pressure on the string as you pluck it.
