Metal in F — syncopated muted strums
Like its B cousin in the catalogue, this grid combines syncopation and muting over a vocabulary reduced to two chords (F5, C5): the simplest version of this double difficulty, tied with B. Only the colour differs: major I-V here, minor i-iv there.
Tips
If this combination of syncopation and muting is new to you, start here or on the B grid: both share the same advantage of a reduced vocabulary.
First break the two techniques down separately (muting alone, then syncopation alone) before combining them.
Compare by ear with the catalogue's B grid: same technical simplicity, opposite harmonic colour.
