If you've never played this tune before, check out the basic version first, then dive into this one! This is an Alan Munde break that has hints of melodic goodness and is engineered to play at blistering speeds!

    Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

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

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

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

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.
