Wow DMBFanJason, that is really good. So good to the point of how i have no idea how you strum like that. It seems so quick but then you just it the low E string slow and keep strumming at the same time. It's hard to explain but that's pretty much been my problem the whole time. I just need to see someone actually strumming it i guess. Arg!

wow i actually got it down.. look where a little bit of practice gets me. Now i think for my final problem. I can never seem to mute the D string correctly, it's always buzzing. Do you guys almost barre it when playing? Any tips?

Alright, every time I think I have the strumming and fretting right for the intro of Two Step I start to think maybe Im a little off. Jason, do you pick your fingers up on your fretting hand to do muted strums during the intro or do you not do any full muted strums? Ill probably end up recording myself and posting it just so I can find out Im playing it perfect anyways but maybe you can help me right now. Thanks.

By far the easiest way to impress people, and the funnest, easiest song to play, is lie in our graves. I just love that rhythm, its great. I just wish there was more singing to it, 'cause with half of it being instrumental it makes it kinda awkward to play for people. I STILL cant sing the last part ("I cant believe that we would..."), my timing is so off that I end up playing all these extra notes all over the place = )
