One of the hardest things to do is to attempt something challenging for the first time and returning after not noticing progress. One of the ways to get around this is breaking challenges into components. Did you have any success making the staccato notes with the index bar across all strings? If not, that is the place to play around, goof off, find success. When that is nailed down, move on to adding the E shape with the rest of the fingers. Philb nails it with, “chip away, over time, at the tough stuff”. I will add one thing to that…chip away methodically. Hit what you are unable to do so far for a minute or two and go back to what you like to do…,repeat. Do it again tomorrow, or in an hour: whatever works for your effort allotment.
