Rock in B minor — muted strums
Muting Bm stacks two difficulties already met separately in the catalogue: this barre comes back at the start of every loop repeat (as with this same grid's regular rhythm version), and it also has to help with the muting right as it's being replanted. The other three chords (G, D, A) are open and much easier to mute.
Tips
Mute Bm on its own first, specifically working on the moment the barre gets replanted in the loop.
On G, D and A, the palm does all the work with no help from the left hand: consciously contrast that with Bm.
If the muting breaks the tempo, it's almost always at the return to Bm: focus your work exactly there.
