    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

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

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    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.

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

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