I’m not perfect at playing this (far from it), but I’m pretty good at it thanks to the guy’s explanation. It definitely takes some practice, but I’ve found I get measurably better each time I try it.

One thing I do differently from him, is after you play the first few notes (7, 5, 5, 5), he slides his ring finger over to the 6th fret to play the next note. I personally found it easier to just use my middle finger for that. It’s all up to what’s comfortable for you, though.
