In this lesson

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!

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

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

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