    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.

  2. Ray Dunphy ·

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

    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.
