Well, I guess it depends on the effect you want. No way can you get that pizzicato (sp?) effect like DiMeola muting with your fretting hand. And no way can you play rhythm like SRV with palm muting. Guess both have their purposes, depending on what ya want to do.

But that youtube vid...couldn't tell if the guitarist was muting at all... :rolleyes:
