    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.

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

    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.
