This is a simple and beautiful version of a beautiful carol in the key of D. Besides the solo, I also teach the backup to two guitar solos.

My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

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

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.
