Dave, It looks like you have the basic mechanics down of the move. Its just a couple quick hammers .. going from g down to d. at least thats how i do it.

Hi

This part gave me a lot of trouble as well.
There are a lot of off beat notes during that part so they need to be played with up strokes.
Be very clear which notes you are playing with upstrokes and which ones with down strokes.
It's important to keep the right hand moving steadily up and down all the way through

Dang that is getting REAL close! Looks like you have some natural timing and the right idea on the mechanics. Sounding darn good so far on a very tricky ditty.
p.s. I like your dog!

Dave,

Well I got nothin' for you. I haven't even looked a this lesson. GOSH it looks hard. But, you've got some good advice here already.

Cute dog and nice to see your face at the end. It would be nice to see more of you (meaning your head) when you record next.

Good luck.

Michele

Good to see you got this video up Dave... I reckon Neil could be along shortly to lend a guiding hand... good luck (I know nothing about this song).
