I clean my Martin with mild soap and water then dry it quickly . but it is a wood top . no stain , it gets dark there to . and cleans right up. i heard that baking soda and water worked well . but you have to try a small spot first then wash and dry . Good luck and nice guitar

Go slow and practice strumming patterns. that are complex. Like A 4 beat measure broke down . Like 1 beat D strum 2 Beat DU strum 3 Beat DUDU strum 4th Beat DUDU . and change it around Learn to play 16 Th notes by Feel and not by count. Use the Metronome If you can master that then you are set. then you have to learn to palm mute in count . It takes work. practice 16th notes with a mute in between . hear how it sounds and get the feel.

Tri ads might be to key to the answer you seek. strumming the chord s then work up o the picking the tri ads of the cord or vise verses start triads and finish strumming. good luck you will get the answer here i am sure.

Thank you @Blue Dog This is a great song for me to study. They certainly stepped up the vocals and added extra instruments. It builds really well. A very talented group of musicians.
I am going to watch this a few more times!
Yes, as you say, they did play harder later in the song, and the tempo may have went up a bit too.
I play that song exactly the way he sing it . Normal to soft to hard . sounds great . you can change the tone by playing soft. and then hard . or us a Bass strum and then go to a strum. the song CapM posted the other day does that he played finger picking to the end a then strummed the rest. a song need a hook or riff. some thing that stands out and catches your attention and holds it . like this one.it changes back and froth

Hi gotto. Hand stretching before the gig you know . but drink plenty of water and potassium. gator aid or a banana . take a aspirin. Advil before the gig might help. tiger balm on hand before gig helps . but give it time to dry first .Last but not least a thicker neck guitar. good luck.

I keep track in the count . Like 1234, 2234. 3234, 4234. back to 1234 2234 3234 4234. and after a while you dont have to do it. when playing leave this country boy alone you have to play the D chord 40 times strait . then go to g chord for 8 times. so i count . it up to 8 1234 2234 up to 8234. and start over do it 5 times . then i have to keep a mental count on the five times . but i count them backwards. 5 4 3 2 1. two not confuse them with the other count. . its tricky with out a backing track or some one singing the words to the song. or you can just follow the music in the song book. as you play. its just a mental count and you have to work it out the way it works for you. Sorry.
He counts it out at 2.53 in video

Ok got it, I'll sort out the E string now. But it does seem that the pin isn't grabbing the ball on the B string when it is in the slot. The ball just keeps twisting. Any ideas?
I bend the string about 1/2 a inch up from the ball where the ball is at a 90 degrees and put it in the hole where the ball is at a 90 degrees to the bridge and pin and you can hold it there.

Also if you look at the winding on the B string it looks much higher than the others, I've pulled it and everything to make sure it is tight.
The E string look bad looks like the Pin is not turned right are the string need to be slid down.

My guitars has groves cut in the bridge for the strings to lay in . that was cut by a guitar tech. the same grove your B string is cutting. but in all the holes.

Is the string in the grove on the pin and is the brass ball all the way thru the bridge hole . stick hand inside and feel .

Thank you for replying so quickly because I'm going nuts here! in this video:
Randy says to put the same pins in the same hole? why is that?
Because he ream them out to fit each pin . you can put the same pin in the same hole . but if you buy new pins they dont come numbered for each hole they are just pins,

Hey guys I'm back and I need your help! I'm cleaning my guitar and noticed there is quite a lot of wear specifically on the B string bridge pin slot. I think I might have mixed the pins around by accident the first time around. How do I tell which bridge pin goes in what slot and could this be the issue?
All bridge pins are the same it should not matter which one is in the hole and some ware is normal .

Probably a power tube . You have to be carefull and not play the guitar till the tubes warm up and dont plug up the guitar or unplug the guitar with the amp on . it will cook them .and turn the volume down when turn off and on. Good luck with it hope you get it fixed are replaced.
