Hello,
just watching the lesson :"Adding Chords With Muted Strings"
https://www.guitartricks.com/lesson/28991
No problem with every downstroke at beginning of the bar but I barely can hear the accent in the upstroke of the second bar (and I try it, my guitar says "please stop and go to work into a mine!)
Can someone, please, point me, to a tutorial focusing on the upstroke accent (YT, is also ok) ?
Thanks

Your pick should be slightly angled with the tip up in order to graze over the strings on a down stroke. And reversed with the tip down in order to graze over the string going back up.
Anders mentions this in this lesson.

I show it in more detail here.

Get that technique right & then go slowly until you get the accents where you want them. When you want a strum accented dig in to the strings just a little bit harder on the strum. Back off on the other strums. Strum lightly & stay relaxed.
Hope that helps!
