Hi Kip, thanks for posting! The main issue here is honoring the rests and the overal beat structure of the song. This is the most consistent issue for you. Everything else is...

Hey Kip, You're playing most of the "hard" stuff very well. The thing that's tripping you up here is waiting the correct duration of time during rests. Along with my version, try...
