After playing the first note (A) with the 3rd finger lay the 1st finger flat across the three treble strings slide then hammer the next notes. It is a difficult lick to master but well worth the practice required. Rent the movie Woodstock and you can catch a glance of the fingering. NOTE 2: After playing the second note of this lick slide down with the first finger to the 5th fret on the third string.
