    My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

  2. Theresa Nickels ·

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

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

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

  5. Sharon Kile ·

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

  6. Ben Clark Instructor ·

    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.

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