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

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

    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 jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

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