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

  2. Mick Stanton ·

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

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

    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.

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