    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.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

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

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