So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Hi this is my first post and I got to say these boards are mighty useful for learning dave's song....
I've been practicing two step for quite some time now, I've downloaded some of the audio samples some of you made on it, I've read and reread strumming hints you gave and things like that, but still I can't manage to pull off the strumming exactly like dave does.
Maybe some of you can give me some -really- useful hints on how to get it? I know this has been asked quite some times but still I'm missing something
Thx!

DMBTabs, welcome to it...
It's all feel man. Get a D&T and bang away with the audio and it'll, practice, practice, and more practice.

I've heard him do it a couple of different ways. You can do it with a bass-chord type of strumming pattern. Another way you can do it that sounds good is to do a double mute then fret the chord on you 3rd stroke.
As others have said, listen to D&T and play along. It will come to you.

Anyway yeah, I was trying the bass chord strumming pattern, guess I'll just have to practice till my fingers bleed...

if your fingers are bleeding, you are definitely doing it wrong

You have to listen to it alot without playing along with it, because often when you are playing along with it you blast out the audio and cannot detect mistakes you might be making. When I want to learn a song, I am always listening to it when I am walking to classes or working out.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
