    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.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

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

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
