I don't see anything wrong with this timing, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of using words, they can be useful in some situations ( like describing some of the basic polyrhythms ) but I think I preffer to just hear the groove played slowly until I can internalize it. Regardless, I think this a good lesson and a great groove. I think it sounds better when played slightly slower, but that's just me. Thanks for the lesson Geoff.
