My oldest daughter, Charlie Belle, and I were hanging out recently and this melody came to mind! It's in the key of D and the B part can be a little tricky, yet so fun to play!

    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

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

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

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

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