I actually meant hitting the dampened strings on the backbeat (count 2 and 4). In the original they just went into staccato, stopping the the sound and of course got a snare beat on 2 and 4.
You put them both together, the snare backbeat and the staccato style.
You do that a lot with your covers when you play alone on a single instrument and it adds depth to your versions, compensating for the missing other instruments. That's part of what makes your music so great.

Ah thank you! I understand - but it's just what comes naturally when I try to emulate the vibe of the song! You almost sound like a poetry teacher unraveling why a poem sounds great when the poet probably just "went with it"!!!
I think I have other stylistic things that I take for granted but maybe are a bit more unique than I give myself credit for - I definitely palm-mute a lot on verses for example, so that the transition to a chorus can raise the energy when I don't mute anymore.
That happens sometimes when the geek in me is triggered 😋
Yes, you do. And that's giving your music its soul. The feeling that the artist is really enjoying what (s)he's doing is so important. Just keep doing it and "go with it"!!!
