    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.
