How to learn it
Play the first two notes
Do not rush into the whole riff. Make the first move feel easy.
Loop slowly
Use a slow tempo and repeat until the sound is clean.
Then add speed
Speed only matters after the rhythm and note order are automatic.
Common beginner mistakes
Looking for speed first
Start slow enough that every note sounds intentional.
Letting extra strings ring
Use both hands to lightly mute strings you are not playing.
Resetting after every mistake
Loop the smallest phrase and keep going through small slips.
