    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

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

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.

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