    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.

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

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

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.

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