I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

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

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

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
