The muscle memory on my left hand I get, because it's sort of in a fixed position, but the right hand is sort of just... floating. Maybe I'm supposed to be keeping it somwhere rather than just out there in space.
Do you rest your right hand anywhere? I realized that for some other previous songs that were not all 6 strings I was resting on low E, which is no good.
