So last night I'm learning Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers (great tune BTW) and boy am I struggling with the opening bars, it's not that difficult but can I get the timing right at speed? Can I 'eck! So I leave it 24 hours and come back to it and boom play it perfectly straight out of the box at any speed I want. Now that's happened loads of times with tricky lines and speedy lines, leave it a bit and come back a bit later and it suddenly seems easier? What's all that about?

Sleep. Well, that's my guess, at least. I find that I can practise something as much as I like on a given day with only marginal improvement, but if I get a decent night's sleep and come back to it then it's somehow just there, much as you described. Something to do with the brain consolidating information and strengthening neural pathways blah blah blah...
