    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

  2. Patty Lindstrom ·

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

  3. Gary Feldman ·

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

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.

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