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

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

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
