    Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

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

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.

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