Thanks so much Christopher for your detailed answer. I really appreciate it. I will for sure check out your lessons. As far as repetitious practice, it seems like I have been trying to play the song I mentioned forever. But, in order not to get bored, I tend to play the whole song as practice instead of zeroing in on the parts that I can't keep up with. I think I'll spend more time on that. Just the simple fact that I practice the song, (and others) so much I have noticed that parts that were difficult before are doable now. I guess that's the proof. As for being patient with myself, no worries there. For the few years that I have been playing I have fun no matter what. I let Clapton and friends be the experts. I just like playing. Thanks again.
