    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

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

    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.

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

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

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