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

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

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

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

    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.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.
