    Just want to say the multiple camera angles make all the difference. I could actually see what the right hand was doing.

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

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

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

    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.

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