But I do want the ability throw in a fast 1/8 note or 1/16 note fill/riff in my music in the future.

It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. The teacher assured me I'm where I should be for the time I've been playing, so I'm not going to stress about it anymore. I'll keep practicing, and the speed will come up naturally.

Bad Moon Rising has such a distinctive rhythm. I'm not having any trouble
feeling the rhythm, just
playing the rhythm as fast as the video recording. My whole being feels the rhythm at 180BPM, except my right arm, which feels it at 140.
