One Last Jimi Thing Question

[johnnyd]

I hate to ask another question about this song but in the verse on the second hammer on on the D string are any of you playing an upstroke?

Verse
E:---------------------------------------------------
B:-------------------------9-----9---------2---------
G:---------------------x---9-----9---------2----6h7--
D:------------9-----9--x---9h11--9---------2----7----
A:------7-----9h11--9--x--------------11\------------
E:-7h9-----9-----------------------------------------
1_3 1 3 1_3 1 1_3 1 (3) 1 1_3

After the first hammer on I'm playing an upstroke on the the notes on the ninth fret followed by a downstroke on the muted strings for a duh chuk sound. When I play the second hammer on with another downstroke I seem to lose timing. It seems that the second hammer on should be played with an upstroke but I'm not sure if it's right.
I know this is a picky question but I have the song down really well otherwise and this little problem had been driving me nuts!

i downstroke the 3 9's, hammer on 11, and then play the second 9's with an upstroke... if you just keep your hand strumming in a steady rhythm with the song tempo it should just come naturally... watch a video of dave playing it and youll see

OK, thats what I thought. I was trying to force another downstroke there and it was throwing my timing off. practice, practice.

Thanks!
