I just do the slide and them mute the strings and do and up and down stroke them down stroke on the 5's, probably wrong though.

Its all about the muting I find. I used to have to same problem when I first tried this song but as soon as I learned when to mute and to get the strumming timing down it sounded perfect.

I dont mute when I play this, I just do the slide then bar the 5's with my ring finger sounds like Dave to me.

I dont have a mic the cables you need or the software on my computer to do a recording. And what I should have said was that it sounds good to me of course it doesnt sound exactly like Dave.
