Hi David,

I don't feel like ever being capable of playing the V-IV-I lick of the 6th chorus.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Hello Andreuet. It's all

Hello Andreuet. It's all about reps. Start VERY slowly until you can play it accurately at that slow tempo. Speed it up over time. Passages in some songs can take years for us to play (our skill set has to grow to meet its difficulty level). Give it time...you will be able to do it, you just don't know when.
