    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.

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

    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.

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