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

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

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

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