Yes It definately worked.

Like others have said, play it sometimes with the muting, sometimes with out it. You can't have too many ways to play a song.

Maybe stop the muting when you burst out into song.

My sense is you definitively achieved that muted sound, and it sounded great. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure which artits use that technique, other than Neil Young, of course. It's a very effective sound, though, which I found elusive when Neil (Hogan) loaded the Old Man tutorial.

Al,

I had not heard that song before. I listened to you first and then listened to NY on youtube. I think you're palm muting is working very well. It seemed like NY did it a bit less though.

Al,

Sorry I didn't get to this earlier. The palm muting experiment worked just fine. Perfect for this song. Some others have said to changed it up from time to time and let the high strings ring out a bit. I agree. Also maybe throw in some muted hammers every now and then too and that will spice it up. Good job on the muting and the song in general. Always love a Neil Young song.
