What is the difference between a "ghost note"
and a "percussive tone (muffled)"

And how do I (attempt) to play them.

fwiw - I'm seeing this in a Double Trouble Book. Listening to Tommy Shannon is quite humbling.

Anyway they use the "ghost note" represented by placing the note in parantheses. They also use the "percussive tone (muffled)", represented by an x on the end of the stem.



thanks

Yep I know. sorry about that. Right after I posted I realized it and couldn't figure out how to edit the thread title.

Anyway, please let this thread die. After searching the forums again I did find some archived stuff but I'm still not clear. So I've reposted under a more appropriate title.
