This was one of the first tunes I learned on piano as a kid and I've loved it since. I have to say it makes a pretty cool bluegrass tune! This one is full of tricks: melodics, inside rolls, and single string pickin' all in one! Enjoy, cause it's a lot of fun to pick!

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

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

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

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