    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.

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

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    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.

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

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

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.
