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

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

    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.
