Blue-grassy percussive strumming
Hey guys,
Does anyone know the playing mechanism used to create that muted strum sound often heard in blue-grassy rock?
Anyone who likes yonder mountain string band or string cheese incident should know what I am talking about.
Could this be a palm mute?

As far as I know, it's all palm muting. I haven't listened enough of string cheese incident to know much about them. Is it like the rhythm guitar in "Looking Out My Back Door" by CCR? If so, that's palm and left hand muting.

It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.

See Bluesyzep's "Muted Strum" thread....I'm thinking that you're talking about the "boom-chick" strumming pattern. Yep, it's done by muting the strings with the palm before you strike them. You can also help it along by letting your chording fingers loose to mute the strings with your left hand also - especially effective with bar chords.

That's a pretty good description. Is there anyway to upload mp3s so I can provide a clear example?

You can upload an mp3 if it's a small section or a snippet only if it's a copyrighted tune. When you're ready and you're making a reply, scroll down and select Manage Attachments. If you're making a quick reply, then select Go Advanced to get to the Manage Attachments button.
Alternatively, you can link to any song file that's posted at another site.

Ok, I'll try that. You wouldn't happen to know of a good free mp3 slicer lying somewhere around the internet would you?

You could do it if you have any recording software, but if you don't, do a google search for 'mp3 clip maker'. There seems to be a ton of choices.
