It works out much nicer for me. Riff #1 e|-------------------------------------------------| b|-------------------------------------------------| g|----6-4---9-7------------------------------------| D|--4-6-4-7-9-7------------------------------------| A|--4-4-2-7-7-5------------------------------------| E|--2-x-x-5-x-x------------------------------------| A A A A A x = do not play string A= There is palm muting between these chords. When you listen to it you figure out the strumming. *note* on riff #1, if you want to hold down on the g,b, and high e strings you can it dose sound really nice and adds to the ska sound that mouthwash has.
