Can I ask any sifu around here, when I palm mute and strum, the thinnest E and B string tends to sound not muted. Does the bottom 2 strings need to be muted or not?

This.Basically, if it doesn't sound like what it's supposed to sound, you're doing it wrong. |

You only need to strum the strings that you will be playing, not all 6 strings like you would when open strumming.
