Same ol' tune, different techniques...we're gonna make sure we're not up Cripple Creek without a hammer.

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

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

    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.
