Rock in B minor — syncopated rhythm
This version stacks two difficulties already met separately on this grid: the Bm barre, which has to be replanted on time at every loop repeat, and now the syncopation, which complicates that replanting. The other three chords (G, D, A) stay open and add nothing to the difficulty.
Tips
First isolate the A→Bm transition under the off-beat, without the rest of the grid: it's the most demanding spot.
If the regular (non-syncopated) version of this grid isn't reliable in a loop yet, work on it first before adding the off-beat.
Slow down as much as needed: the barre has to stay clean even under the rhythm's pressure.
