Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
