You're jamming with folks but you don't know the song...heck, you don't even know what key it's in! But there's a mando player that does, and that's ALL you need! This lesson is actually for those who do NOT play mando. We're gonna learn what to look for from the mando player to learn songs more quickly!

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.

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

You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.
