 Hi Dave - I'm not sure I understand your question, but hopefully this relates to your question and can help you to understand the timing of the figure . I'd suggest that instead...

 Enjoying this one and slowly getting the hang of it, killer tune!

Rick, I seem to be able to play this in rhythm, but am having trouble intellectualizing the rhythm if that makes any sense. I suspect this could be a problem timing the longer runs...
