Travis style alternating bass can be played with or without the palm mute, which is actually done with the side of the hand by most people.
Jerry had a great take on it. The Boxer, Don't Think Twice, etc are alternate bass with no palm mute. Delta blues, Piedmont blues, etc are almost always palm muted to get that thumpy bass tone. |

+1 on many comments, the style requires a subtle palm mute. You need a difference in texture between rhythm and melody to achieve that overall propulsive sound. Without it, the bass drowns out the treble and it gets drone-y real quick. As a bonus, an (un)intended advantage of doing the palm muting, is that as long as you maintain the feel of the boom-chick, a fudged note in the bass here and there doesn't matter.
Those Thom Bresch and Piedmont videos are great btw. |
