@@firekorn and @@fkbackpack the muting parts of the adele song seemed to be OK for me. I was able to get 99.71 for the rhythm and 98.34 for lead (I think I messed up on something other than the chords - I'll give this another run). I do use a "softer" mute for the game with my wrist closer to the bridge and as fireforn says if the game shows 3 strings in the chord, you really need to go for all 3 strings (for some reason this seems to result in more misses if you hit just two strings). (Update) The part I seem to mess up (playing mistakes) are those 2 partial g form barre chord sections. The muted parts seemed to work OK for me.
