Lie in our graves question

I have been working on trying to perfect the song and I am having trouble at one spot. I was just wondering on the intro when he does the Em->A->G, how many times does he play each. I have been playing Em 3x, A 1x, G 1x and it doesn't sound right. Any ideas?

Pat M has a video up I believe that is really helpful for this part, check the videos post he has

Ok, it sounds like he's doing Em 2x with mute, A once, and G 2 times, once being bass and the other treble.

Here is another question, I am watching D&T 3-29-3 and it looks like dave is playing D/F# on the intro to LIOG. On the tabs here, it looks like they show a D and that is what I play. Anyone know if he does in fact occasionally play the D/F# or is he just moving his hand into an akward position and not playing the F#?

On Pat's video he plays the D chord as well.

I usually just add the F# with my thumb.

Right, as does Dave in the DVD. What I'm wondering is that does he always play LIOG with D/F#?

im pretty sure he always throws his thumb on that F# when he is playing D, but i dont think he actually ever hits it, just watch granny and im pretty sure he does the same thing wqithout playing the F#

When I play a D i always use my thumb to mute the E and A strings. I think that is what dave is doing also.

That makes sense too. Thanks.

yeah, i always thought he was playing a D/F#, but he's really just muting the E and A so he can strum all of the strings at once.
