this is the only PTH song that I can play ~95% perfect but I can't wrap my head around that part just before the 4 second mark that's playing the G and D strings like G 10 10\9 9/10 10\9 D 12 11 12 any tips to get faster at that?
You''ll probably notice that I moved it up a string (to G and B) to avoid having to make a huge jump. After the previous part, your fingers will already be where they need to be for the way I did it. Also, rather than sliding down to the last note, I play it on the lower string with my pinky. And you can honestly get away with doing a hammer-on for the last note. Cause yeah, I'm with you on this. That series of slides make me feel like I'm just flailing everywhere. So for me, it was: B 6 6\5 5/6 6 G 7 6 7 9 And make sure you hit all the B string notes with down strokes and up strokes on the G string One last tip, as I was learning it, I actually picked all the notes. It helped a lot burning the rhythm into my head cause the picking pattern is confusing and off beat.
