    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?

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

    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.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.
