    My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

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

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.
