Hey there , new question…Is it necessary to hit the strings on the down stroke mute strum? I do so much better when I don’t but didn’t want to do it wrong. Thanks Steve
Hi Steve,
Let me know if this answers your question. I’m happy to keep trying until we get it 🙂
Watch this:

Time working on the mute (striking down with the pick and palming the strings at the same time) as a separate technique.
Then added back to the strum.
Once you’ve done that you may want to try using this five minute practice session to work on it some more: https://realguitarsuccess.com/lessons/c-g-with-mute-strum/
But only after you’ve worked on the technique by itself.
