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

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
