Up for a challenge? Let's play the same melody three times, but in THREE DIFFERENT KEYS! Man, I love doing stuff like this!

    Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

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

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

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

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

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