    Just want to say the multiple camera angles make all the difference. I could actually see what the right hand was doing.

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

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

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

    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.

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

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