    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.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    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.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.
