Yes...they are being muted. Second, we arent talking about how you play, we are talking about the way Dave plays. Its a quick mute on an upstroke. This isnt that difficult to figure out.
why do you hear the strings against the fret board?[/quote]

ok, from the verse your hands are at frets 10 and 9, strings a and d. when transitioning to the chorus from the verse you have to slide your hands from the 10th fret all the way down to the 3rd fret leaving you plenty of time to mute the stings "with your fretting hand" and strum with the same struming the chorus will be in and there you have that "chick" sound. in other words i think i agree with b-dog :twisted:
