    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
