This is a very bluesy, Monroe-style break in the key of G that is going to get folks' toes a tappin'. If you own a mandolin, this is one that you have to know how to play, because someone is gonna request it!

I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

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

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

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

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

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

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
