Rock in A minor (basic version) — syncopated muted strums
Since all the chords are open (already established on this grid's rhythm and muted versions), this syncopation-and-muting combination stays a purely right-hand exercise: no barre further complicates the left hand, unlike grids such as the catalogue's D minor (variant) or B minor.
Tips
If this grid's simple muting and simple syncopation are already reliable separately, combining them here demands nothing new on the left-hand side.
Compare with one of the catalogue's barre grids (D minor variant, B minor): the same combination is noticeably harder there.
Use this grid to perfect the syncopation-plus-muting combination on the right hand alone, before applying it to a barre grid.
