    My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

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

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    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.
