    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
