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

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    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.
