LeftFingerMute

SomeStuff (mp3)

Using just the left hand 4 fingers to mute the chords when moving, letting the bass string just ring most the time. Marshal amp sim, which I'm starting to like more when I'm playing much louder. Still seems kinda muddy/drowned for the low end, but I'll play with stuff next time.

More

2HandMute (mp3)

Muting chords with left hand and bass line with palm.
I recorded this kinda like I'm thinking, bassline first, chord fill and a twill on the top, so I could hear them separate.

More Muting

LeftHandMute (mp3)

Only using the left hand to raise up enough to mute chords when I want them to stop ringing. :-)

ComboMute (mp3)

Using my right palm to mute the bass line string and the left hand for the rest of the chord.

Strumming

strumming (mp3)
Just trying some open full strums, instead of my usual single-string picking combinations. Not great timing or much else, just trying to land it all every time.

Happy Settings

MoreMetal (mp3)

Just walking around playing tidbits once I got the pedal sounding just like I wanted, after the old Scott amp finally kicked the bucket. This is using a ton of muting using the palm of my pick hand, mostly on the bottom 4 strings.

Only using lead pickup, and picking directly over it.
Compressor, sens 4, level 5
Drive metal, gain 20, tone 5, cabinet off, level 5
EQ presense 2, treb 4, mid 4, bass 0
