Pop in G (4 chords) — syncopated muted strums
As with the muted (non-syncopated) version already established on this grid, the palm width needed changes from chord to chord (6 strings on G and Em, 4 on D, 5 on C): under the syncopation, these width adjustments now have to happen in rhythm, without the time to prepare them in advance the way the regular version allows.
Tips
If this grid's simple muting (with its four different palm widths) isn't reliable yet, work on it first before adding the syncopation.
Spot D, the narrowest of the four (4 strings): it's probably the easiest chord to mute even under the off-beat.
Break down the muting and syncopation separately first before combining them on the full grid.
