Hi Alfonso,

I took a look at the YouTube video you asked about. Those guys are doing a really solid acoustic-rock strum, and using barre chords and left-hand muting techniques to create a percussive effect and boost the groove.

Depending on where you are in your guitar learning, there are a number of resources here on Guitar Tricks you'll want to look at.

Make sure and look at the Rock Courses.

I am sure there are some songs in the Songs section that approach that technique, but unfortunately, I am only closely familiar with the songs that I have done the tutorials for. You might check out Me & Bobby McGee for some basics on acoustic rock strumming, in a song context.

Hope this helps!
Best wishes, Lisa
