What I noticed with the chords and progressions is, there would be delays between each chord change, almost as
if it were palm mutes or extra notes in-between. I dunno; my ears might be getting worse nowadays.
Strum pattern, as I played it was, repeatedly, : D-D-D-D-DUD-D-D, where the DUD was the transition to the next
chord.  That might explain what I heard was "extra notes" instead.

What I noticed with the chords and progressions is, there would be delays between each chord change, almost as

if it were palm mutes or extra notes in-between. I dunno; my ears might be getting worse nowadays.

Strum pattern, as I played it was, repeatedly, : D-D-D-D-DUD-D-D, where the DUD was the transition to the next

chord. That might explain what I heard was "extra notes" instead.
