Her is how to play it. Start out strumming a regular D chord then just lift off your index finger and keep strumming then hammer you index finger back down again continue to strum. Now lift your middle finger and keep the other two down. Put your middle finger on the fourth string strum it and pull it off then dropping your middle finger back to the bottom E string to form the D chord.That should all be smooth while strumming that cool bluegrass strum. (CAPO: 3rd fret all notes and chords are in relation to the capo.)
