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

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
