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.

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

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

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

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

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