String Mutes

des-olator	Date: September 18, 2006 @ 11:39 PM I'm having a little difficulty with how my fingers are to be placed or what fingers or techniques I use to mute strings. For example, playing Broken by Seether can be seen at this tab site: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/s/seether/broken_ver4_tab.htm Any advice would be great as I just can't seem to get it, thank you.
GeneHilbert	Date: September 19, 2006 @ 1:46 PM There are two techniques widely used. Palm muting which is when you lay the palm of your picking hand on the strings. Finger muting when you don't completely press the string to the fret - you simply touch the string above the fret. Neither are hard to do - they just take a little time spent doing it.
