Drop D riff — palm mute groove in F New
A power chord riff reduced to two chords (F5d, C5d), the only ones available as natural notes for F, built for tight palm muting: the picking hand stays anchored near the bridge for a short, percussive sound.
Tips
Rest the edge of your palm just in front of the bridge, not on top of it: too far forward and the sound loses pitch; too far back and it won't mute enough.
