I once wrote a kinda heavy song in my old garage-band (which I subsequently named Lynch Rope) which had shuffling palm muting on the treble strings especially, that ended up cutting into the side of my palm enough to slice the skin. I ended up having to wear a bandanna around my hand for awhile for that song...but actually, in a twisted kinda way, I liked that it drew blood...made me feel more connected to my guitar y'know. Being that the goal is to put the most emotion and feeling into playing, what's a lil blood too right?
