Skai -> RE: Muting the strings (Nov. 11 2005 15:44:44)

I'm almost 100% sure that Ryan was referring to 'tambor' which isn't a flamenco technique. Muting (done either by left hand fingers or your right palm) is something common, in electric, acoustic and flamenco guitar, not classical though. [:D] In Almoraima, he mutes with his left hand and strums with the right. It really depends on which hand is free to mute the strings, and which is more effective. Put simply, if you want your chords or notes to sounnd abrupt, just mute with either hand. As with many techniques, the decision on when and how to use it, is purely up to the players discretion. Cheers, Cheston
