Just how fast are ya? Yes, bluegrass can be fast, but that's not all we're striving for. In this lesson I'll teach you how to break down your playing and get faster at the small things, which will automatically make you faster overall. This is the last lesson in the Theory of Practice Course!

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

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

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.

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

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