The second half of this verse contains a lot more stuff, licks-wise than the first half. The internal conversation between the licks in the solo gets slightly more complex, so in that way it's maybe a little more challenging. There's more to remember, but as always - the real key to making it sound meaningful and expressive lies in the groove, the tones and the different shapes of the notes.

That's great, Andre! It's like learning to speak a language. The more you hear it and understand it, the more you understand how to make your own statements in that language.
