It's important to pay attention to the fingering during the passage of the verse, when you bring the same finger down on the string below. Make sure you position your fingers correctly to help transition smoothly between chords.

Additionally, at the end of the intro, there is a bend that closes the pattern and allows you to go directly to the string below. Be sure to control the intensity of the bend and transition precisely to achieve the characteristic sound of this part.

Focus on your string attack and make sure to keep a slightly relaxed left hand to get the right muffled sound. Practice these passages regularly to develop your mastery of ghost notes.
