Learning songs is what this is all about but maybe you would do better finding a song in the 80 to 100 bpm range and as your skills improve move up in tempo. I don't want to discourage you from learning the song, but frustration and discouragement are our worst enemies. 


One last thing I would offer is, taking breaks is a good thing. I will often leave a song for a day or two and come back to it. The short break has allowed my brain to wire itself and I find I can make some progress.


Good luck.


 

Thanks for the advice. I know it's fast tempo and I've been trying to go at a slower tempo.  But, I haven't slowed the video playback.  I might move on to something else and come back to it and keep working on it here and there.


Appreciate the response.
