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.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

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

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.

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

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