I've barely touched a guitar this year due to time & energy consuming concerns about my old mum..

So I just picked up a Strat style guitar which was one of my go to instruments,
just to remind myself of my playing 'technique'...

My wrist automatically rests behind and just on the bridge, so palm muting is my default position
for dampening strings and coaxing pinched harmonics.

Only lifting off the strings when I want sustain to swell out into ringing notes & chords...

Particularly effective with vintage circuit fuzz boxes & treble boosters.... 😎
