    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.
