This video is ridiculous. He barely teaches us anything, instead just telling us to do things and showing off. He says, "Throw in some left hand hammer-ons in there" and he plays this nice riff. Honestly though, maybe you should explain to us how you made that riff with slapping and muting?

yeah, in the other lessons he does a great job of slowing the lick down and explaining it but in this one, for whatever reason, he doesn't show us what the left hand is really doing and goes straight into the lick fast.
