    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.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

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

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.

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