    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

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

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