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

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

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

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

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