what is this ka-chunk?

Is he slapping to mute his strings when he does his Kachunk? I don't understand!

Rest the outside (pinky-side) part of your palm against the strings while at the same time, strumming with your index finger (or finger of your choice). This mutes the strings and gives you that percussive sound. You can slap the strings closer to the sound hole with more of your your palm as well if you want a tapping sound to accompany your chunk.

thanks! I feel like I leveld up now!
