How do I do an upstroke palm mute

[userid]

Hi guys, my question as above. I can do downstroke muting, but I cant really figure out upstroke. Heard it can be done. Maybe someone can teach me?

Thanks

Just the same technique, but pick upwards! It's that simple

Thanks for the tip, but I find it kind of unnatural to pick upwards while muting? is it harder than downstroke

practice til its familiar and not foreign to you

Angle your pick with one side slightly downwards, until it's about the same doing upstrokes and downstrokes. Practice using alternative picking, it's a technique where you pick one string, but with alternating up and down strokes.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I dont really know how to use a pick, cos i cant aim with it. If i try to pick note by note, I will surely miss with a pick. So anyway I can do the downstroke without a pick, neither do I need exceptionally long nails. Therefore do I need to use a pick for upstroke muting?

The key of it is to not pick all the strings but just the top 3 strings.
