busted stuff question (standard)

for the chords in the verse that have the D and G strings played open(x300xx), how can you mute the B and E strings when you play those chords? or are you just supposed to not hit them? any tips are appreciated

im unsure about this, and i havent listened to it in a while. i would probably just play the notes though.

its played with your fingers, not a pick. So just use your thumb, index, and middle fingers to pluck the strings.

are you sure you dont use a pick? i use a pick on this song (standard tuned) and i have been able to pick just those strings fine.

so this song is picked and not strummed?

you can play it with your fingers or a pick. I believe Dave has done both. On the album he is using his fingers (busted stuff and lillywhite). But whatever works for you.
