    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

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

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

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
