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

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.

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
