    My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

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

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

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

    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.
