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.

Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.

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