    Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    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.

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