So this lesson is all about the picking and explains the different possibilities and how and when to play them. It's a really important part of playing blues rhythm.

Hi, in this lesson, what exactly is happening when Justin demonstrates the shuffle rythmn using the ‘big mute’? I understand that he is using the fretting hand to mute the upper strings but is he also muting using the strumming hand at all? When he demonstrates the technique at a slower tempo it sounds like he is letting the chord ring out with each down strum but when he speeds up it sounds very tight, as if he is muting all the strings for the up strum? Is this the case or is it just that at faster tempos the effect is such?
I’m curious about this, too. Can you give a time stamp for the relevant part of the video? (I don’t want to watch through the whole thing.) Thanks.
