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

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

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

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