Nam was not good times.

all the strings above the desired note mute with your palm....sort of lay it over the strings...then the strings under the desired note lay the finger your making the note with across them. It sounds complicated but it really isnt. Its hard at first but you will get the hang of it.

dave doesn't palm mute to let you know. he mutes the strings above usually with the very tips of his fingers. it's simple.

In granny, i can play that part very very similar without palm muting.. i've never seen dave palm mute.. i've seen him slap the strings with the palm of his hand while strumming.. if that's a palm mute, then eh, then he does..
