I think that the trick may be something I was told by my tutor (of which after posting a question if it is benificial to go to a tutor even though I had been self taught for years etc. As advised by a wise man SKEE1, Thanks)don't look at what your trying to learn but insted what you already learnt,

Being if you have learnt 1 thing you can learn 2 things, does this make sense to you, it did and does to me.
