    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

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

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
