    Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

  2. Dale Hutchins ·

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

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

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

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

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.
