    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.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

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

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