Y'all know how much I like melodic tunes, and this is definitely one of 'em! We're in the key of C with no capo, up the neck, down the neck, and will learn some cool closed licks that work over any chord!

Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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.

Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

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

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