    Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

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

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
