This is a great version of this parking lot favorite in the key of "C." I especially like the B part, where we learn some really cool crosspicking licks that can be used in other songs as well!

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

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

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