    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.

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

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

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

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

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
