Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": The food court is downstairs. The cookie stand is upstairs. It's not like we're talking quantum physics here.

I just use my pointer finger to do it. Is the pointer and the index the same thing, it is right? Im retarded and I cant think right now. ANyways, thats what I use, didnt see the need for two fingers.

Its not a big deal, but in the videos I have it sure looks like he is using index and middle.

Go down to 7 on the G string if you're having problems up top. The strings are much harder to bend up top. Once you get familiar with playing the song, you'll graduate back up to 2 on B.

That's how I learned it. It's more fun to play the song than to get frustrated with the bend.

I would recommand you not to play it every messure. Just throw it in when you feel like doing it. Strum the 3xx2 chord instead
