Update 4-25-2016:
Note that the D/A Chord in this song is played with the High E and G strings open, not muted.
Also note that Light's uses a lot of hammer-ons during the chords throughout the song.
You can watch the video linked above to learn the timing for them, but the song plays fine without them.
Update 1-21-25:
For the slide up riff, you're going to transition straight out of the D/A chord. Luckily, your finger on the D
string, 4th fret, is already in the correct position!
