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

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

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.
