What parking lot picking circle hasn't played this ol' standby? Whether you've been playing this tune for years, or tackling it for the first time, this version can give you some new musical meat to chew on...with blackberry cobbler for dessert.

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

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

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

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

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
