Not overly complex, but really fun and interesting with that constant walking bass line! This melody will "linger" long after you put the guitar down!

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

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

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

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

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