Not a lesson question exactly, more of a how-do-you-approach-it question.

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

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

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

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

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

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
