Hello, Chris

I usually put my hand on the bridge pin side and hit it, but I don't think it will lean on your video. Can I know why?

Or is it different when you lean against the bridge and then strike?

 In my video, the first part is to hit the bridge pin or 6 string with your hand slightly fixed,

and the secondis to remove it

 

And I have another question.

When you play the melody on the 1st, 2nd,3rd string, do you mute with your palm on the

6th or 5th string?

Hi JiMyeong! Do you hear how much more open the sound becomes when your hand doesn't touch the bridge pins. That, to me, is a wonderful sound. 

I will definitely use my palm or the fingers on my left hand to mute any strings that may be ringing sympathetically. But that doesn't mean that I would keep the palm of my hand down all the time to prevent any ringing. Its more that I can use that palm to mute anything if i need to. Sometimes you might even want some of those other strings to ring. 

Hope that helps!

Chris
