    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.

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

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