    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

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

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

    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.

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