The point of a PickAlong is not to use tab, but to use your eyes and ears to play along with me! Join me and the girls to play Joy to the World in G!

    Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

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

    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.

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

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
