    @petelanger , @terry-stewart-azgmail-com : Pete once again I read what you have experieced and it is also my experience. It is still this way 10.5 years into my journey…I will work at a challenge work it, work it, work it, and when I am sure I cant get it this time, I move on to something else. Often when I get back to it, the previous effort mixed with time to marinate (in the gray matter) I find I can unlock the new technique or skill. Somewhere in the 1000 rep is what it takes for me to effort my way to getting it under my fingers…1000 seems like a lot but it only take 10 min to do 1000 reps on a string but depending on the complexity of what is going on 30 min may be required to hit the mark where I start to smooth out. Time is reletive and I still work at 60 bmp when I am embarking on something new and unfamiliar or if the complexity of sequence leaves me lagging behind or flustered or sometimes both. Why 60 bpm? why so slow?….I learned I cant chase speed, ever! But I can sneak up on it in short order. Stopping now before I achieve TLDR status. : )
