   Not a lesson question exactly, more of a how-do-you-approach-it question.

   Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

   Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

   I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

   You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

   Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.
