hello everyone,

I hope this is the correct place to post my question, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with how to reproduce the sound over here (at the 56th second mark) on a concert ukulele.

I have looked the sound up, and it seems like palm muting might help me with it but its not very helpful when I try it. I am almost very much new to ukulele so any help would be appreciated with this.

Thank you.
 
Staccato sound of open C string

No, [right hand] palm muting is not used here. There are two options:

1) If you pluck the open C string with your thumb, use the left hand muting, i.e. dampening the sound by placing one or more left hand fingers across the string.

2) If you pluck the two notes on the open C string by alternating your index and middle finger, use the classical guitar technique called the "preparation" when the next finger is placed on the string so it mutes the sound. I.e. pluck the open C string by your index finger and place immediately your middle finger on it, then pluck it by the middle finger and place your index on it.
