Use ska upstrokes troughout the whole song. It sounds better if you don't use palm muting technique and mute the strings with your fretting hand instead. This song shouldn't be a problem to learn if you are familiar with ska technique. Intro consists of 4 upstrokes for each chord. Chorus and verse on the other hand consist of 2 upstrokes for every C and F chord and 4 upstrokes for every G chord. No capo needed.
