i've been playing this song quite a bit recently, and you will see that as time goes on, you'll find many ways to mute the strings. the way i do it is to just rest finger 4 on the strings for the first few notes, then, when you hit the 7 on the G i press on the string with 1 and mute B and E with 1, and for the other strings, i actually use my thumb. it seemw wierd at first, but if you watch dave play it, i think thats actually the way he does it. what it does for you is make you able to strike the strings very hard in order to get a sharp hard sound, but without the ringing of the other strings. try it out

Just kinda curve your finger so it only sounds the low E string.

I've also been playing this a lot lately, and I also mute the B and E with the 1 when its on G-7. but I mute the D with my 2 finger and I mute the A and E with my 3 finger. It looks like a C-chord formation. and to me, that's what it looks like he's doing. so it looks like hammers the 7-9-11-x-x-x than goes to the x-x-x-7-x-x using fingers: 3-3-2-1-1-1. or at least that's the way I do it. It takes a quite a bit of practice to get the touch for muting like Dave.

hope this helps

The way I figured out muting Dave style is just STRUM. Its gonna sound like absolute shit at first, but you will get it figured out, and it will sound right. Make sense?
