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

  2. Owen Brady ·

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

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

    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.

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