Life's Railway to Heaven

Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

Sam Whitlock · 29d ago

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

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

FifthStringFred · 25d ago

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

Ben Clark Instructor · 23d ago

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

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