Palm mute button
Hypothetical feature: A new effects button, separate from Killswitch and Pitchbend, optimally the 0 key or one of the tone knobs. If pressed while strumming a note or holding a sustained note, the volume of the guitar (or bass/rhythm if applicable) track lowers to -60dB over the course of 0.25 seconds, unless the button is tapped briefly and then let go of before 0.25 seconds have passed, in which case the volume only lowers partway. If a note is hit while palm mute is in effect, the volume jumps back to 100% instantly, only lowering again if the button is still held (or if a note is missed).
I was wrong... maybe

Fun? New effect?
I don't see the point of killswitch/whammy, but it's still there.
Interesting idea though Dan.

The same reason whammy works on non-overdrive notes: A fun little extra to toy around with.
Though in theory there could be overdrive or other point rewards for palm-muting at certain times, and perhaps even notes that (as an optional setting of course) demand the palm mute button be held down when you hit them, just as there are notes that demand the strum button be pressed as they scroll over the frets.

This could be cool in auto-sustained notes... Like death_au say.

Re: Palm mute button
Seems like it could end up working sort of odd on a lot of songs that already have palm muted parts (quite a bit of songs, depending on the genre).. But overall, doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to add to the game.
I don't think I'd personally use it, though.. Just because I use the xbox360 X-Plorer controller and don't really have a spar button on the guitar I could hit comfortably to do it =\

He says (in other threads) that it would be cool to whammy sustained notes that are alto-sustained in the music, like in GH2 Freebird sustained red note before the solos.

Re: Palm mute button
Do you mean my comment on the possibility of adding "whammy notes" where you get extra points for whammying a note that is whammied in the original?
Yeah, you could have palm mute notes that do a similar thing I guess.
