    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

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

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

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

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
