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.

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

Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
