Decking your nephew for sticking his finger in the custard pie? Bad. Decking the Halls with three thrilling banjo breaks? GOOD! Let's start with the basic melody, then get melodic, then end up bending some strings after getting hold of Granny's eggnog.

Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

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

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
