I hate stumbling upon religious programming on the car radio. The psalm mute button comes in handy on those occasions.

Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, or Les Paul

It was sent back in time and created it's own existence; bootstrap paradox.

Chet Atkins and Les Paul were palm muting; no one knows who was actually first.

The first known guitarist to palm mute strings was Miguel Llobet, Spanish classical guitarist, famous in the 1900s.

Others likely did it before him, but didn't get credit or weren't well-known enough to remember?

History matters.
