    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

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

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

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

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