    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.

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