It's an easy progression, C, A minor, F and G over and over.
I mute strings by laying the pinky side of my picking hand (right) against the strings.
The strum pattern is bum ba dum ba bum bum- down up down up down down.
We pronounce it "Guf Coast".

Re: teaching my sister guitar
I've always found the easiest way to mute is to use the the bit of your strumming hand that you would do a "Karate Chop" (Hiyaah) with and rest it across the strings as close to the bridge as possible; the thumb and index finger then do the strumming as opposed to the wrist.
Only thing is I must be bad 'cause I find that it is best used on down strumming only as it is not conducive to down and up.
