    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

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

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

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

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.
