    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

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

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