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

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.

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