As a beginner you can't learn all the licks to a hard song. You learn a simple version first to get the basic structure right & then you add layers of complexity as you improve.

I see, I always thought about the simplified version as "cheating" and not aquiring actual progress, guess i was wrong, I will give this approach a try then, Thanks a lot !
