When you have something complex or foreign to learn, slow it down.
Play it SLOWWWW and pay attention to precision - look and listen at first. Later, you can just listen.
Making yourself slow things down and disect it is really hard for me at times, and I've heard that it is real hard for guitar players in general to back off and go slow for a bit.
Practice your bends.
Fret a target note, get that pitch in your head, then bend up to it. (From a whole step, half step, or one and half steps down, etc.)
Try to arrive at precisely the same pitch. Go back and forth and back and forth - A/B the fretted note and the bent note a bunch of times.
I still practice bends - probably will for as long as I play.
It changes based on strength tension (string guage and neck scale), so its always a part of any warm up I do.
You can own guitars that have big differences in tension.
It's a simple thing, but I think it's an important thing.
