    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

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

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

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

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.

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

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.
