I give you two solos for this slick fiddle tune in D. The first is a basic melody Scruggs-style, while the second is a matching unison solo with the mandolin version I've taught.

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

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

    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.

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