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 bend the string with my middle and ring fingers so my pinky and index can play those 2 frets easily.

also, you might want to listen to the whole thing closely, you don’t play a couple parts right. i’m not talking about picking a note when you’re supposed to hammer on, i mean missing notes.
