Palm Mute
The palm mute is a technique for guitar and bass guitar known for its muted sound. It is performed by placing the side of the picking hand across the guitar's strings, close to the bridge, while picking. The name is a misnomer as the muting is not performed using the player's palm. Palm muting is a standard technique used by both classical and electric guitarists. It is widely used in heavy metal and rock music but it is often found in any style of music that features electric guitars with distortion. It is responsible for the characteristic "chugging" and "crunch" sound of distorted guitar music. Palm muting can also be used in conjunction with a wah pedal to produce the distinctive scratching sound often heard in disco music. Palm muting is also used by electric bassists in order to obtain a warm, "thumpy" tone which is sometimes similar to that of a finger-picked double bass (as noted above). The strings may be plucked with the thumb or with a pick, which gives a more percu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Breakdown (music)
In music, a breakdown is a section of a song in which various instruments have solo parts ( breaks). This may take the form of all instruments playing the verse together, and then several or all instruments individually repeating the verse as solo parts. A breakdown is a popular musical section, particularly in bluegrass, notable examples being Earl Scruggs' " Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and Bill Monroe's "Bluegrass Breakdown". Definition and origins According to music historian Allen Lowe the definition of a breakdown is complex and contested, with different shades of meaning in different musical genres, including both white and black American musical history. It is characterized by solo performance, improvisation, and a focus on rhythmic or pentatonic patterns. A Union soldier in Charleston, South Carolina in 1865 recorded that young black people celebrating the end of the American Civil War with joyful singing in the streets "ended their songs with a 'shout' and a 'bre ...

Downtuned Guitar
Guitar tunings are the assignment of pitches to the open strings of guitars, including classical guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric guitars. Tunings are described by the particular pitches that are made by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered and arranged from the lowest-pitched string (i.e., the deepest bass-sounding note) to the highest-pitched string (i.e., the highest sounding note), or the thickest string to thinnest, or the lowest frequency to the highest. This sometimes confuses beginner guitarists, since the highest-pitched string is referred to as the 1st string, and the lowest-pitched is the 6th string. Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E (82.41 Hz), A (110 Hz), D (146.83 Hz), G (196 Hz), B (246.94 Hz), and E (329.63 Hz), from the lowest pitch (low E2) to the highest pitch (high E4). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning. To aid in memoris ...
