I just had to learn this tune. I learned it from watching/listening to your video and tried to avoid the tab, although I have gone back and referenced it. I feel like it is natural for me to try to rush the hammer and the slide in the B part. I try to be conscious of that when I am playing. Thanks for the feedback.
You sound very good and you're pulling a great sound out of your guitar! For what it's worth, I didn't notice you rushing the slide or hammer-on at all. But to that point, I would actually encourage you to "loosen up your grip" on the tune a bit. What I mean by that is that it sounds like you are trying (and succeeding) to play it correctly and very in time. In doing so it's feeling a bit controlled and dynamically even. Rather than putting your focus on each moment note to note, try zooming out a bit and thinking of whole phrases. If you do that your dynamics will naturally start to shift a bit and become more organic feeling. The time will likely move around just a bit more - and there's nothing wrong with that! Keep up the good work!
