    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

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

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

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

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
