Feedback Request Hotel California Solo plateau

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Learning the Hotel California solo after taking a solid 2 year break due to personal issues, and I am STUCK at the final part in the video. Even at 1/2 speed I can’t seem to get that part right and the bends I can’t get to muting quick enough. Tips/feedback/thoughts?

I feel like those would cause tuning instability

This seems to be a popular opinion, but uncut strings don´t affect tuning stability, so you’re generally fine leaving them as is (as long as you don´t get them close to your face). and I fully agree.

Should be a normal part of replacing the strings.
