My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

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

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

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.

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

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