I first thought "Buffalo Gals" referred to some chicks I met in college. But it turns out it's a song, and a great one, too! We'll do a build-a-break where we start with a basic melody, then beef it up, then treat it with melodic goodness!

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

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

    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.

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
