I've have an advanced Alan Munde melodic version, but it's good to present this tune in a Scruggs-style as well! The trick is to choose which melody notes are the important ones and to make our ornaments pronounced.

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

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

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

Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
