I first thought "Buffalo Gals" referred to some chicks I met in college. But it turns out it's a song, and a great one, too! We'll do a build-a-break where we start with a basic melody, then beef it up, then treat it with melodic goodness!

    Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

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

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

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
