smells like teen spirit isn't a palm mute, it's a left hand mute. Just let off 90% of the pressure you are applying with your fret hand so you're touching the strings but not pushing them down to the fretboard. You'll hear a very noticeable difference in your sound. I do remember this being confusing when I first started playing guitar, but you should be able to pick it up very quickly.


Just what this guy said. And increase the speed of the strumming while muting for the fast "tshktshktshk" sound thats in the song.

And learn the solo, its really easy :)

umm rest your fingers on the bar chord... instead of pressing down... you hold it there and strum.. it mutes the strings....
if u want a pallm mute, hold the strings down, but rest the hang on the bridge on the string at the bottom with ur strumming hand.

just release pressure on your fretting hand, but still touch the strings, just don't hold them down onto the fret, if you're doing it right you should get a "dead note" when you pick strings
