    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.

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

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

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