In this lesson

They say the Colt Peacemaker ended the era of hostility in the Wild West. That's not true–it was the bluegrass G chord.

    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.

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

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

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

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
