    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.

    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.

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
