I finally did!
I tried a few of the string skipping exercises, and it's super obvious that my problem is with my picking hand. I don't have any real problems with hitting the right frets, but boy do I hit the wrong strings. I'll try doing them with a bit more focus and see if it will help over time. 5 string skip is... pretty consistently inconsistent I'd say. And in the song it's just one skip. Just like for you, it's 100% the second pattern that challenging. First pattern is fine.
It gets better when I've done it for a bit, but then I feel I'm back where I was when I start a new practice session. I'm hoping that the exercises will help over time. I think I picked them up from the video.
Yeah, the second one was the struggle. I was trying to break it down a bit in the video for myself. I'm sure you're very nearly there!
And yes, the 5 string skip is awkward! I like the exercise as it kinda runs through different kinda skips, groupings and strings. Of course you could move the pattern to other strings too.

what i learned, exercises, slow the song down, practices, and take breaks and make it fun to learn
also i looked up some tabs for the song and watching the way others finger the lick gave me some ideas on other ways to finger it, ha, i just started playing it due to this thread, its a bit tricky for sure, i will take it in little bits at a time, sooner or later i will get it down, added it to the list of songs i want to learn...also grabbed a copy of the string skipping exercise and took a gander at it, will work on that as well. nicely done
Let me know how it goes with the exercise
