Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

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

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

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

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