Hello everybody

So i heard people do this thing called palm muting and it sounds awesom I want to learn. I tried it with pick.

Downstrum is ok i can do it but whats with the up strum? Is it possible or is there a technique to up strum while palm muting or guitarist dont do that and im just dumb

The extra question is about tuning. When I tune my guitar. Sometimes the tuner show that the tune is almost half a tune higher than it should be.

When the guitar used or after used the strings stretch right so the tune should be lower not higher right? So why is it higher? Its just poking me why this happen

    Palm muting is probably more common with down stokes, but you can palm mute up strokes as well. Start with alternate picking on a single string. Usually you are palm muting all 6 strings anyway, as it’s a technique that is more suited to single strings or power chords.

    Strings stretch most when they are new. After the initial stretching, they don’t change as much. This is why it’s common to manually stretch new strings when you put them on. Depending on the guitar and type of bridge, the tuning of one string can affect the others. For example, if you tune your low E string down, the other strings may go up in pitch as they take up more of the tension.
