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

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

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    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.

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

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