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

  2. Wes Pittman ·

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

  3. Patty Lindstrom ·

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

  4. Gary Feldman ·

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

  5. Rita Alvarez ·

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

  6. Sam Whitlock ·

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

  7. Ben Clark Instructor ·

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
