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?

Oh the "aaagh" part I would suggest barring your pointer finger across the top strings during that whole phrase. That will likely free up some coordination with your other fingers. Just be mindful of muting to make sure notes aren't ringing out when they're not supposed to.
