Chicken Pickin

I have a question concerning chicken picking, Greg Koch say's in order to get the (clucking sound) you first have to pluck the note whilst muting (or deadening) the same string with your finger or pick then plucking the string again clean (hope no-ones confused) thus really plucking each note twice. my question is this........ is there anything in the rules that says you can't mute the note with you fretting finger then play the note clean as surely this is getting the same result but the other way round....... hope no-ones confused i tried to explain it the best i could . . .

It seems to me that it would be to difficult to get ay speed by muting the string with the fretted finger. I believe I would just try to mute with the picking finger. But that's just my idea. You may be able to develop the other style just fine.

That approach is actually more condusive to speed, from a pure economical standpoint, than lifting your finger all the way off the string. It stabilizes your hand, first of all, and second, the timbre of sound produced by the fret hand mute is better for this style than pick hand muting.
