Here is the key: when we remove the strum, the initial tendency for the guitarist will be to stop the strumming motion in the picking hand.
The trick is to keep the strumming motion going in the picking hand; but ever so slightly lift the hand away from the body of the guitar momentarily, on the downstroke of the 3rd beat, so the pick misses the strings.
