    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.

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

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

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