Pop in E (suspended) — syncopated muted strums

Level 3 pop quick change

As with this grid's syncopated rhythm version, the Esus4→E resolution concentrates the real difficulty under the off-beat; here, muting is added on top but doesn't change that diagnosis, since the palm and the left hand work as two independent systems. Asus2→A stays the simplest transition, muted or not.

Tips

If this grid's syncopated rhythm version (unmuted) isn't reliable yet, work on it first: the diagnosis on Esus4→E already applies there.
On Asus2→A, don't change your usual motion, either on the left-hand side or the palm side.
Focus all your muted-off-beat work on the single Esus4→E transition.
