Try doing the lessons with a metronome. Mine goes as low as 30bpm and that is usually where I start. I will do a lot of reps at a given speed (usually 50-100) until I feel good that I can bump 5-10bpm. I try to keep increasing until it is apparent that I cant go that fast. Than I will bump it up one more time, do a bunch and go back to my previous level.

When I go through a lesson there is always at least one section, transition, technique, etc, that gives me trouble. I will focus on that, practice just that, looking to start creating the muscle memory. Not trying to master.

FWIW, playing at 30bpm can be REALLY challenging, soooo slow.
