This is the first fiddle tune to write after moving to Texas! I named it after my oldest, Charlie Belle, because the melody came to me after hanging out with her. I love playing out of the D position on guitar!

Crosspicking Key of D

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

    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.

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

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

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