Yes there's lots of licks in that song!! Maybe learn and work on the licks each section at a time -- for example learn the rhythm of the first 12 bar verse and add the licks in that section. Keep practicing until you've got that memorized, then move onto the next verse, etc.

Hope that makes sense! Let me know how it goes!

BTW The funk tune is a bit easier to remember the parts (lots of repetition in the song), so that's a great choice for your next one!
