    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

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

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