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.

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

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

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

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

The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
