    Been chewing on this for a while and figured this is the place to ask.

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

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

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

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

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

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