Do you dampen the D string?

I had this question posted to my group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Guitar_Coach

Can anyone in this group anwer the question for us?

--------------------------------------------------

OK, here's an item that has been confusing me. On
several occasions I have seen tabs similar to the
following standard blues turnaround:

|-----0-----0-----0--------|--------0-----2--
|--------------------------|-----0-----3--0--
|--------4-----3-----2--0h-|--1-----------2--
|--------------------------|--------------1--
|--------5-----4-----3-----|--------------2--
|--0-----------------------|-----------------
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 2 + (3 4)

Note the finger placement on the second beat of the
first measure. They have the A string fretted on the
5th fret, then skip the D string, and have the G
string fretted on the 4th fret.

So, when actually playing this, do you dampen the D
string with a finger and strum all three strings? Or
are they literally doing to different plucks (A & G)
in quick succession?

ThanX!

maybe that's not such a good idea, it looks like you're indicating a vibrato.
