    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

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

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

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

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