    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.

  3. SlowHandSteve ·

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

  4. Theresa Nickels ·

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

  5. Ben Clark Instructor ·

    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.

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