Oh, man I'm feeling like a brand new player.
Confession:
I've never counted (except when having a hard time with a particular passage in a solo. once I've figured out where it starts and which notes are on the down beat, I've stopped counting)
Working through the BGU Labs Challenge, I pieced together my solo, but decided to try counting it out loud while playing it.
This counting crap is HARD.
I'm sure I could memorize it, play it and it would sound fine without counting, but maybe not exactly as written (timing wise) so, if I don't keep at it I'll never get counting down.
