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

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

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

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

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