    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.

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

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

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