I have found muting isn't as easy as it looks. I think it sounds great and works well with that song.

I heard an interview with Neil Young recently and he mentioned that the style he employs is not necessarily consistent. He also said the muting thing happened or it didn't lol!! He said its just the feel. The following 1971 BBC concert shows the style to great effect.

And Al do as Neil says just go for the feel and don't think too much about it, certainly coming along but as Michele says if you think about this it will hurt your brain lol

Glad you're enjoying this song/experiment. I actually worked on it again just before I left-- should make another recording of it. I think Chas is right-- that you can't think too much about it or it gets stiff and messes up. Just gotta relax while trying it.

Sounded very good. Nothing to add from a suggestion standpoint. I haven't taken the time to learn this technique, but should. Love all these new avatars, by the way.
