Rock in E minor (variant) — muted strums New
The Em, Am, D, G progression played with the picking hand's palm resting on the strings right in front of the bridge: a short, percussive sound instead of a chord ringing out fully.
Tips
Ease off the palm pressure to dial in the muting: press too hard and no pitch comes through at all.
