They are called, muted strings. All you have to do is lightly press on the strings without them ringing out.

Example: After the F power chord, slightly take the tension off the power chord and "mute" the strings 4 times and with the next up-stroke, strum the next power chord. And the same follows for the other muted section.

Hope that helped!
