    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?

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

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

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
