This tune is in the key of G and takes us back to our childhood of watching Popeye episodes. It's a blast to play, so grab a can of spinach and let's get after it!

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.

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

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

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

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