    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.

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

    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.

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