I primarily practiced power chords on electric so far, I didn’t feel comfortable to play them on acoustic, as they sounded a bit “dead”. I came back to them yesterday and found out, that the “break” of playing them on acoustic did well. Your lesson gave me a lot of motivation to implement them into my acoustic playing also. Thanks!

That was a fun lesson. I am finally getting somewhere with these palm mutes. No where near perfect but there are sounding better. Thank you Richard.
