Hey Pete, That is how I learned. single string bass blues notes run. That is the reason that i had a learning moment with last weeks lessons. I was not used to sliding the palm down the the strings so that my palm arrived on the treble E string for an partially muted upstroke.. and rest and then the Fretted B and G strings. worked on it over the week end and again, before TAC practice this morning and it is much smoother now. So I feel comfortable palm muting all 6 strings one note at a time or in chord shapes.
My muting background began when learning( still learning) finger picking on acoustic blues tunes and partially muting the bass notes and runs. But that was usually only one the bass E, A, and D strings. Never needed to partially mute the treble E string before. For My palm mute on that bottom treble string i learned that by lightly resting my palm near the wrist/arm break area above the saddle/bridge area of the treble g string I was able to mute the E, B, and G strings with a partial mute. Of, course every one has different sized hands so this might not work for everyone.
