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

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

    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.
