Okay @mdrichman62gmail-com here is my secret: go slow, even slower, nope still too fast, go more slowly. I had to litteraly imagine myself moving in slow motion while making my hand and fingers do the same. I am talking comically slow. Exaggerate the finger motions off of the guitar (air guitar style) before putting them on the guitar. At that speed I found I could will myself to do it and then my brain clicks and up to speed we go. The other thing is to mute the strings while learning new rhythmic patterns. Not sure why, but this helped me a ton.
