"This is what I play" is different than "This is what Dave plays".
go put on some headphones and listen to LIOG and tell me you dont hear another chord before the D. My girlfriend has tons of sheet music cuz shes studying music. The DMB music books that she has that have LIOG show those open strings. She said that based on music theory it would make sense to go from open D and G strings to a D chord. I dont know all the technical stuff but she insists that for it to be musically correct you need to have those open strings before the D. She started telling me why but it was to confusing.

Okay - I play it this way, too, so I agree in that regard.
For it to be musically correct, you don't need those notes. That chord is basically a G6 (on inversion thereof). The open D and G will also work, but I wouldn't say that they have to be there to be musically correct. It will resolve without those open strings. Musically, either way works.
But, like I said - that's how I play it, and I agree that it sounds just fine.

I dont remember what she was saying. I dont understand half the stuff she says when it comes to music theory. I usually just nod and say ok. I have always played it that way and I think it sounds better anyway.
Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It's not like we're talking quantum physics here.
