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

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

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

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.
