    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.

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.

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

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